Not every innovation in transportation is going to come from government or even a large enterprise. There are smart people out there with tools and skills to come up with great ideas.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The reality about transportation is that it's future-oriented. If we're planning for what we have, we're behind the curve.
I bet the people who are in the auto industry right now have more than 10,000 good ideas about what might work and what we need to do is not come up with more good ideas. We need to go and test as many of those good ideas as possible.
My innovation involved taking an idea from the telecommunications and banking industries, and applying that idea to transportation business.
Everywhere I go, I see incredible examples of communities that have a vision for transportation and how it will impact the quality of life, mobility, economics and opportunity.
If we expect to continue our leadership in the global economy, we must invest in a long-term transportation plan -f or both highways and transit programs. Too many of our roads, bridges, and railways have fallen into disrepair.
An innovation will get traction only if it helps people get something that they're already doing in their lives done better.
Innovation happens because there are people out there doing and trying a lot of different things.
Innovation is what we're going to need for the future, and that's always been a part of the technology industry.
The need for air transport is real, and it's not going to change. The key is to have the right business model and have the right initiatives, in my view, to succeed.
Innovation is hard. It really is. Because most people don't get it. Remember, the automobile, the airplane, the telephone, these were all considered toys at their introduction because they had no constituency. They were too new.
