SAE TOMORROW TODAY: Why Infrastructure Planning is Undergoing a Massive Shift

A strong infrastructure is the backbone for transportation. This week, host Grayson Brulte sits down with Malcolm Dougherty, Sr. Vice President and National Practice Executive at global engineering firm Michael Baker International to talk about creating a seamless multimodal transportation system that positively benefits society. He looks at his career journey, which began when the U.S. was finishing the interstate highway system, and how we've moved to a more strategic approach for handling transportation, mobility, access and demand. Malcolm discusses planning for a frictionless mobility future through singular payment options and connected modes of travel; the infrastructure changes and energy grid improvements needed to further support the shift to electric cars and buses; and how airports and stadiums, especially those in dense urban environments, will be impacted by vehicle electrification.
