Urban centers are experiencing a transportation renaissance. Continued migration to large cities, the growing popularity of electric and autonomous vehicles, a surge in micro- and minimobility options, and countless innovations in the Mobility-as-a-Service industry have transformed how people get from point A to point B. At the commercial level, businesses are cleaning up their supply chains through investments in more sustainable logistics, including electric trucking, drone technology, last-mile solutions and more. And on a global scale, a call for cleaner, more environmentally conscious modes of transportation is permeating the automotive industry and catalyzing a move for critical reductions in greenhouse gas emissions.

Advancements in mobility technology sit at the intersection of urban planning, quality of life and environmentalism. Innovations promise hundreds of billions of dollars in public benefit and countless savings in traffic time. But regional differences in energy costs, local regulations and public safety requirements have challenged mobility technology providers, spurred public-private discourse and ultimately slowed adoption in the cities that need modernization now.
