Shaping the Future of Mobility for Cities Across the Country
Facilitating & Accelerating Mobility Innovation for Cities.
Our annual report highlights the projects, initiatives, and outcomes we delivered in 2021. From urban air mobility to electric vehicle charging and last mile robot delivery, our work has moved cities forward amid the rapid pace of innovation.
Our Approach
Urban Movement Labs is a first-of-its-kind nonprofit collaboration of government, businesses, and the community to design and deploy transportation tech solutions in real urban conditions.
We build pathways for emerging transportation technology by supplementing city resources as a trusted third space to rapidly develop policy, and scale data-informed, community-driven and tech-enabled mobility solutions. Our work helps communities enjoy a more livable, inclusive and resilient future.

Our Impact
Economic Opportunity
We leverage our position to encourage new mobility tools and accompanying economic opportunities and workforce development.
Equity & Inclusion
Our transportation system must accommodate and be accessible to all users, especially our most vulnerable community members.
Sustainability & Resiliency
Our transportation system must evolve to address the immediate challenges of climate change, sea-level rise, and extreme weather.
