RideScout’s Joseph Kopser Headlines #TranspoChat August 26

On this month’s #TranspoChat, August 26 at 3PM Eastern/Noon Pacific, tune in for a stimulating conversation with Joseph Kopser, co-founder and CEO of RideScout^TM, a mobile app developer based in Austin, Texas.

RideScout’s free app allows users to search and compare a full range of ground transportation options—including transit, taxi, ride share, car share, bike share, carpool, walking, biking, driving, and parking—on demand, and in real time. Kopser wowed participants with his keynote address at IBTTA’s 2014 summit on All-Electronic Tolling in July. In his talk at the AET Summit, Kopser urged participants to think of tolling as part of a continuum of seamless, door-to-door mobility options for users of all ages. He urged the industry to focus customers’ minds on the “fully-burdened cost of mobility,” beginning with the cost of the time they lose on congested highways.

On #TranspoChat, Kopser will discuss these topics:

Q1 – What motivated you to start RideScout^TM?

Q2 – How does RideScout^TM differ from other travel apps?

Q3 – How do you obtain data and information to make RideScout^TM work?

Q4 – Why do people need to understand the “fully burdened costs” of mobility?

Q5 – How can RideScout^TM promote “right-pricing” of transportation and create “infrastructure that pays for itself”?

Q6 – What factors have contributed to the success of RideScout^TM?

Q7 – What do you see as the future for apps like RideScout^TM?
