Collaborative Consumption and the Future of Mobility a conversation with   John Zimmer Co-Founder and COO, Zimride Avery Lewis Head of Product, Getaround    Timothy Papandreou Deputy Director, Sustainable Streets Planning San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency   William Baumgardner Associate Principal, Transportation Planning, ARUP   Transportation in America today is expensive and environmentally unsustainable. Shared use has power to reduce the financial and environmental costs of mobility.   Consumers are increasingly receptive to vehicle access over ownership, demonstrated by the rise of fleet-based car and bicycle-sharing programs in recent years. Informal carpooling schemes are taking hold in response to traffic congestion and escalation in fuel prices. Now, a new wave of online marketplaces leveraging social networks offers to scale collective use of transportation resources through peer-to-peer sharing.    How can collaborative consumption be used to meet today's mobility challenges? What are the greatest barriers to transportation behavior change and how can they be overcome on emerging technology platforms? How can policymakers and traditional transportation industries adapt to this shifting landscape and accelerate its adoption? Our panel of entrepreneurs, policymakers, and sustainable transportation thinkers will explore these questions in a moderated dialogue with attendees and each other.   Format:  Reception with light food and drink followed by moderated panel discussion and audience Q&A.  Driving to the event? Post your ride on Zimride and share it with other attendees.  Collaborative Chats is an ongoing speaker series for the collaborative consumption movement. Events occur monthly in San Francisco.
