We had a great time at World Truck Week! This national event brought together industry professionals to share the newest tech in commercial vehicles and equipment. Our Nick Thomas was on the scene, learning about these new innovations and how we can leverage them back in Michigan. We also want to give a special shout-out to Drive Clean Indiana for hosting us at their stakeholder breakfast!

Earlier this month we attended the Elevate Forum in Ann Arbor, hosted by the University of Michigan - Economic Growth Institute. Sessions discussed advancing manufacturing, growing communities, and economic development. We made a lot of great connections and saw several partner organizations. Looking forward to our next event!

How do we drive meaningful innovation to empower our communities? Our initiatives cover smart cities, EV charging infrastructure, clean transportation, and more. Learn more about our work below!

Congrats to our new Director of Smart Cities and Communities Nick Thomas! Thomas will expand our efforts to prepare Michigan's cities for a shift toward alternative fuels, building on Michigan Clean Cities' 20+ years of mobility work. We look forward to continuing our work with Michigan Carshare, the Michigan Capitol Area Regional Electric Vehicle Charging Gateway Initiative, LISC Detroit, and all of our collaboration partners.
