The book is a culmination of Dan’s 35-year mission to holistically design new mobility systems, rethinking transportation planning by incorporating vehicle design, new mobility services, and community co-creation. Dan’s career reflects a cross-disciplinary approach, bringing together insights from industry, government, designers, and community.

The book features 248 pages with 100 pages of color photos, illustrations, and renderings of future mobility concepts. It is a designer’s solution for the “total transportation puzzle”—how to deliver the comprehensive benefits of intelligent multimodal mobility (walking, biking, micromobility, transit, and new mobility options) that automobile owners will widely embrace.

30 years after the internet arrived, Americans no longer need to be automobile dependent, nor even personally own cars. Rapid advancement in electric cars, vehicle automation, and micromobility services will radically transform mobility. Yet we are frozen in an old car-dominant paradigm that’s too wasteful and costly to society. Through greater public awareness and design influence, we can transcend this old paradigm and access more elegant, sustainable community mobility for all.
