Building The New Mobility Economy

Transportation - the very way we move people and goods to meet our various needs - is at a tipping point, and evolving rapidly. A combination of forces has converged at this moment to drive the most recent paradigm shift in transportation. However, a picture of how this New Mobility will unfold has not entirely come into focus. It is a time of rapid, disruptive experimentation, entrepreneurship, creativity and growth - as well as competition among many different ideas, technologies, modalities and business models.

Join Melissa Birnie on Nov 20th @1:00P.M to discuss the report on this dynamic industry that has been prepared for UM-SMART, drawing from the Catalyzing the New Mobility in Cities project supported by the Rockefeller Foundation and the New Mobility Solutions project supported by the Alcoa Foundation.

Guests will include:

John Austin

Director, Michigan Economic Center at Prima Civitas; President, Michigan State Board of Education; Lecturer on the Economy, University of Michigan

Susan Zielinski

Managing Director, SMART at the University of Michigan (Sustainable Mobility & Accessibility Research & Transformation)
