The winning solutions range from addressing the need for more inclusive transportation options to making the Corktown community more inviting for its residents to commute, including a responsive transit application, bridge art project, and information kiosks, all in an effort to improve mobility for people living, working, and visiting communities surrounding Michigan Central Station.

The winning teams will divide $250,000 to test their proposals in a real-world setting to connect people, places and opportunities with mobility services that work together. This collaborative project between Ford, the City of Detroit, and PlanetM highlights the magnitude of opportunities that collaborations between public and private sectors bring to communities and to the state, while underscoring there is no better place in the world to take an idea from the mind to the market than here in Michigan – especially when it comes to mobility.
