New Mobility: The Emerging Transportation Economy
welcome
Dear New Mobility Colleague,
We wish you a very warm welcome to New Mobility: The Emerging
Transportation Economy. We are so happy to have you join us as part
of SMART’s growing Global Learning Community.
By bringing together our varied knowledge and experience as scholars,
business leaders, entrepreneurs, practitioners, NGO representatives and
policy makers from different parts of the world, we aim to build on and
inform current and ongoing work to understand and collaboratively
develop systems-based solutions to mobility and accessibility in global
urban regions.
As you will have noticed from the bios posted on the SMART Web site
(http://um-smart.org), each and every participant has a unique contribution to New Mobility and the emerging New Mobility economy, and no one
person or institution knows it all or has done it all. This is why we have
called this meeting – to get together, roll up our sleeves, ask questions,
talk to each other and make a concerted effort to:
• Share conceptual frameworks and foundations related to New Mobility
and the emerging New Mobility economy
• Share new knowledge and experience in piloting and implementing
innovative, integrative ways to bring sustainable urban mobility and
accessibility to urban regions around the world
• Explore emerging markets, business innovation and employment
opportunities, new private sector roles, and other economic factors
related to sustainable transportation in the context of accelerating
urbanization, globalization, climate change, demographic shifts
(including aging populations) and economic disparity
• Formalize a collaborative research network to study and support New
Mobility implementation
• Establish a collaborative industry network (a collaboratory or “link tank”)
to support and accelerate private sector innovation and business development related to New Mobility.
We look forward to this and future collaborations!
Sincerely
Susan Zielinski, Managing Director of SMART

about
SMART undertakes research, demonstration
projects, education, and global learning
exchange on a range of issues related to
the future of transportation in city regions
around the world.
Action for sustainable transportation is especially important now, as accelerating
urbanization, population growth, globalization, and demographic shifts reinforce
transportation and development patterns that threaten climate, environment,
biodiversity, energy security, social equity, productivity, urban economies, and
the quality of our lives.
Recognizing the complexity of the challenge and the sophistication of the innova-
tion required, SMART takes a systems approach to urban mobility and accessibility.
We work with local and international partners from diverse sectors and disciplines
to understand and develop new theoretical perspectives, and to generate practi-
cal, innovative solutions that tell a holistic and hopeful story for the future of city
regions and the people in them.
To get involved in SMART, contact Susan Zielinski, Managing Director. E-mail her at
[email protected] or visit our Web site at http://um-smart.org.
SMART, Sustainable Mobility & Accessibility Research & Transformation, is a project
of CARSS, the Center for Advancing Research and Solutions for Society at the
University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.

Greening the Conference
SMART likes to begin at home on sustainability. So while not yet perfect, we’ve done
everything we can to decrease environmental impacts and to increase sustainable
practices associated with the planning and hosting of the meeting, including:
Carbon Offsets
In an effort to reduce the carbon footprint of this event, we offered participants the
opportunity to offset CO2 emissions from their travel and hotel stay through
TerraPass. Collectively we offset approximately 529,495 pounds of CO2 emissions,
in large part thanks to the generous contribution of Octillion Corp.
Food and Beverage Menu Development
Mindful of the environmental and social issues associated with growing, process-
ing, and transportation of food and beverage, SMART has chosen a local caterer, The
Moveable Feast. The owner, Dan Huntsbarger, will shop locally a few days before the
event for fresh produce from Whole Foods and Plum Market using produce in season
(strawberries, asparagus, rhubarb, and cherries). He has selected seafood listed as
Best Choice or Good Alternative from the Monterey Bay Aquarium guide to support
those fisheries and fish farms that are healthier for ocean wildlife and the environ-
ment. China dishware, glassware, silverware, and linens will be used for most meals.
Some bio-degradable paper products may be used for breakfast and lunch. Bev-
erages will be served from containers or recycled cans and bottles and Fair Trade
coffee will be served. Beer will be available at the dinner and barn party from a local
Ann Arbor brewer. Moveable Feast also coordinates with Food Gatherers to donate
extra food from the event if possible.
Florist and Music
The arrangements on the tables in Assembly Hall were created using locally grown
flowers and recycled pots. The musicians are University of Michigan student artists who are available to perform for events such as this on campus.
Materials
In order to reduce resource use and waste, SMART limited the size and quantity
of printed publications and other associated printed materials for the conference.
We also paid special attention to the sourcing and methods used in producing and
printing these materials. The posters and this program were printed on 100% postconsumer waste paper with soy-based inks. Printing was done in accordance with
Forest Stewardship Council guidelines. We are also collecting the plastic covers from
the nametags for reuse.
Travel During the Event/to the Airport
We have arranged for bus and van transportation during the event and to the air-
port. Through the generous support of Ford we have two 12-passenger Hydrogen-
powered internal combustion engine (ICE) vans that will provide airport transport on
Friday. Hydrogen-powered ICE vehicles can be a bridge between today’s ICE vehicle
technology and tomorrow’s hydrogen fuel cell technology. Hydrogen ICE vehicles
significantly increase fuel economy compared to gasoline-powered ICE engines and
produce virtually no CO2 emissions. Ford currently has a fleet of 30 Hydrogen ICE
buses in service on American roads.
