Technology has reshaped resident lives in many ways, with the rise of the sharing economy generally and transit-network companies (TNCs) for the mobility space being prime examples.

Otherwise, they risk being sidelined, resulting in sub-optimal mobility outcomes, including harms to equity, air quality and traffic.
