Innovation
Pioneering Solutions for Tomorrow’s Transportation Challenges.
Michigan Central is a destination for advancing technologies and programs that address barriers to mobility in all its forms, whether they be social, economic or physical. We are a center for innovation but also a call-to-action for creating a more sustainable, equitable future.
Part of what makes Michigan Central unique is our members’ ability to test the future of technology right now. It’s testing of real-world solutions in the real world. But along with that comes the responsibility of informing the community about what’s going on in their city.
