Abstract This paper summarizes the findings of the U.S. DOT’s comprehensive report on the current and future conditions of America’s transportation system, Beyond Traffic: Trends and Choices 2045. The full report, and in turn this paper, discusses long-term and emerging trends in passenger and freight travel and the potential impacts of technological advances, climate change, and evolving governance institutions and funding sources. This analysis provides a framework for a fact-based discussion about the critical transportation policy choices we are faced with to address these long-term challenges. Beyond Traffic is intended to stimulate a national dialogue about the nation’s future transportation opportunities and challenges.
