Organized by the National Center for Understanding the Future of Travel Behavior and Demand (TBD) in collaboration with the Pacific Southwest Region University Transportation Center (PSR UTC) and eight other UTCs, the Summit will bring together researchers, practitioners, policymakers, industry leaders, and students to explore the forces shaping the future of mobility. It will serve as a dynamic forum to share new insights, highlight emerging research findings to inform policy and practice, and strengthen partnerships across academia, government, and industry.

The program will focus on advancing knowledge and practice across key mobility domains, including travel behavior, freight and logistics, rural mobility, urban transit, data and AI integration, emerging technologies, and transportation system performance, and will feature a keynote address, panel discussions, a fireside chat, and a UTC Directors Roundtable aimed at building a coordinated national mobility research and deployment agenda.
