The establishment of SMART’s Distinguished Speaker Series has been made possible by the National Science Foundation’s Human and Social Dynamics program. It supports the development of a Southeast Michigan-based Learning Community focused on sustainable mobility and accessibility in global urban regions. Speakers were selected to represent a wide range of leading edge knowledge and experience related to New Mobility / sustainable transportation and accessibility.
