Better thinking to move 21st century generations. Spending $100 billion a year on engineering is not solving transportation problems related to capacity, safety, health, economy, or environment. It's time to tap Education and the promising new approaches that can induce cultural changes and shift attitudes and behaviors. The Mobility Education Foundation was founded in 2007 with a national mission to do precisely this through a combination of international research, partnership strategy, curriculum development, training workshops, and state-level policies.
