Mobility Impact Partners hosts a series of debates on the future of mobility to promote intellectual, public discourse around important issues associated with the revolution in transportation. Our format is an Oxford-style debate with protagonists who take opposing sides of an argument, and an expert panel that poses questions to clarify their positions. We seek to improve our collective understanding of topics critical to our future.
