United States Transportation Growth Opportunities

The United States provides fertile ground for stakeholders in the transportation sector to develop, adapt, and implement futuristic transportation technologies. The country is the pioneer of ride-hailing services and has one of the most forward-looking regulatory landscapes for autonomous vehicle development, testing, and deployment.

Many autonomous mobility pilot programs are underway in the country, while some solutions are already commercialized, such as Waymo’s driverless ride-hailing service. The country is also a hotbed for air taxis, with home-grown companies like Joby Aviation and Kitty Hawk paving the way for global air taxi development.

Drones and robot deliveries have increased post-pandemic, with Nuro becoming the country’s first company authorized to mass-produce driverless vehicles and commercialize autonomous deliveries. Additionally, technology companies such as Masabi, Cubic, Transit, and Modeshift drive the adoption of contactless ticketing among public transit agencies, creating avenues for mobility-as-a-service solutions.This study provides an overview of the United States transportation industry, identifying innovative developments, focus areas, growth drivers, and growth opportunities. It offers an in-depth look into the transportation trends and initiatives of 20 states across seven segments: roadway, railway, public transit and shared mobility, electric vehicle, autonomous mobility, port, and aviation. These 20 states, including California, Florida, and New York, are front-runners advancing the US transportation sector.
