Mobility Innovation Center

Helping to build the transportation system of the future.

Advancing our region’s goal to be a global leader in smart city transportation, the University of Washington and Challenge Seattle have partnered with regional transportation agencies to establish the Mobility Innovation Center in the heart of Puget Sound. This multidisciplinary Center brings together the industry’s leading expertise from business, government, non-profit, and academia to help develop new technologies and explore creative solutions that have the potential to change the way we move people, information, and goods across our transportation network.

Housed at CoMotion at the University of Washington, the Mobility Innovation Center helps partners scope near-term transportation projects that have the ability to address critical challenges through data-based insights, creative ideation, and applied research.

As we look toward the future, the Cascadia Mega-region is on track to welcome an additional 3-4 million people to a patchwork transportation network bound by complex geographic constraints. It is our goal to harness technology, innovation, and partnerships to become the first sustainable mega-region in the world.
