In 2023, the transportation industry focused on securing funding to invest in new infrastructure — including new onboard Internet connectivity solutions / to improve the passenger experience. In 2024, the focus will be on making sure those investments were worth it, resulting in more positive, productive, enjoyable journeys.
The 2024 approach to transportation infrastructure investments begins with maximizing value: improving efficiency, delivering increased value to passengers, and future-proofing each investment for the long term. Planning, designing, and building a public transportation service (like a new high-speed rail line) is an incredible feat in and of itself, but we cannot afford to simply check the box and move on.
