Public Forum To Discuss Bringing Transit On Demand To Princeton

PRINCETON, NJ — Princeton Future will host a public forum on Saturday, Sept. 28 to discuss bringing a transit-on-demand system to Princeton.

The forum will discuss using a system that utilizes small electric or autonomous vehicles rather than a single large bus that can be summoned by a smart phone app to a location within walking distance of a user's home.

Locals will have a chance to voice their opinion on this at the event being held from 9 a.m. to noon in the Community Room at the Princeton Public Library.

Speakers at the event include Alain Kornhauser, director of the program in transportation at Princeton University, and Jerry He, an urbanist with a background in computer science who is pursuing a masters of architecture at Princeton.

Five neighborhood break-out workshops will also be held to explore possible different routes in town.

Princeton Future, non-profit community group, advocates for the betterment of local residents’ health, diverse housing opportunities and business prosperity. They act through community engagement in open public meetings using design studies to propose a direction for Princeton to pursue.
