The Michigan Council on Future Mobility and Electrification (CFME) released its second report this week, recapping the progress made since its inaugural report in February. The council divided into four workgroups to develop policy recommendations addressing challenges and helping to further the state’s mobility and electrification leadership. CFME’s collaboration led to proposals for new, robust economic development tools to improve Michigan’s competitiveness for mobility and electrification sector jobs, as well as increasing access to advanced mobility solutions.

Findings within the report include:

- Michigan must continue its leadership in automated vehicle policies and smart infrastructure deployment, while investing in the mobility sector and economic and talent development.
- Government encouragement of the adoption of electric vehicles and the deployment of EV charging infrastructure is a must.
- There needs to be clear guardrails around the cybersecurity of intelligent transportation systems to protect the safety of residents and visitors.
