Michigan Doubles Down On Mobility And Announces A New Eight Million Dollar Grant Program

Michigan, the cradle of the American automotive industry, has made no secret of its desire to remain an industry leader in mobility as the industry continues to evolve.  On May 30, 2018, Michigan announced a new $8 Million Michigan Mobility Challenge grant that would be available to fund new mobility projects across the state.  The "mobility industry" is a term of art, the exact definition of which often depends on who is being asked.  Generally speaking, the term is used to refer to a variety of products and services involved in the business of how people get around, including everything from traditional automotive manufacturers, to ride hailing apps, to autonomous public transportation.
