This is the second appendix to the National Transit Adaptation Strategy Phase I FTA Report. Appendix 2 is a slide deck from the Foresight Workshop meeting between SFMTA and Institute for the Future (IFTF) staff in November 2021. The workshop provided a project overview and alignment on the futures phase and research, immerse attendees in futures thinking methodologies and concepts, and identify future forces, disruptions and possibilities that could shape the future of public transportation.
This was an IFTF-lead discussion-based workshop to identify futures thinking frameworks and begin generating concepts to guide initial research and provided a foundation for future phases of the project.
Key take-aways for what ‘futures thinking’ means to transit agencies, future forces and drivers to consider throughout the research, and impact areas that should be considered in the cross-impact matrix.
