Technology will save us! Things like self-driving cars, new traffic signal equipment, better ways of sharing information on traffic conditions and more people working from home will eliminate the need for building more transportation projects.

[This slide has a vertical bar graph plotted with survey responses from people who reacted to the statement above (Strongly Agree 7%, Agree 11%, Disagree 54%, Strongly Disagree 28%, No opinion 1%), a percentage of engagement graphic (83%), and the number of responses (122).]
