Mega-city Mobility and Accesibility

Sustainable Mobility focuses on sustainable transportation and accessibility in city regions of the world and takes a unique systems approach to understanding and transforming the future of urban mobility and accessibility. Moving beyond the technical fix alone, it "connects the dots," bringing together the various disciplines and sectors, the players, the theoretical approaches and the practical applications required to tackle urban transportation's growing complexity, sophistication, impacts, and opportunities.

The University of Michigan Sustainable Mobility and Accessibility Research and Transformation (SMART) project brings together the efforts of a wide range of academic and industrial partners including: Professor Tom Gladwin of the Erb Institute, the Center for the Study of Complex Systems, the Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning (TCAUP), the Ross School of Business, the School of Natural Resources & Environment (SNRE), the Institute for Social Research (ISR), the department of Applied Mechanics and Mechanical Engineering (and Wu Manufacturing Research Center), the Ford School of Public Policy, the Center for Local, State, and Urban Policy (CLOSUP), the University of Michigan Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI), the school of Literature Science & the Arts (LS & A), and the Ford Motor Company.
