City-Government-as-Usual is changing at the speed of light. Cities that once struggled to manage and incorporate innovation are now bold leaders in the new mobility revolution; leveraging private resources and community input to ensure public good and transforming our metropolitan centres rapidly. It’s no surprise these public-private partnerships are the catalyst of some of the most stunning changes we’ve seen to policy, infrastructure, and urban life in the 21st century. What partnership models can we derive inspiration from; seamlessly integrating technology, data,  and citizen-centered innovation to create accessible and efficient transportation systems? How will these partnerships continue to evolve and what hurdles do we still face in creating the future we want for our cities, together? 

This is a 90-minute workshop. The remaining 45 minutes will be dedicated to a participant happy hour. Bring along your favorite beverage as we wrap up the working session and crack it open with colleagues, peers and new friends after the "pencils are down."

The global events of 2020 have taught transportation and transit planners to react to changes to their cities' transport volume and routing with limited warning. The unique needs meant leveraging both public and private resources. The people of Miami-Dade County rely on public transportation in any situation to get where they need to go and know how long it takes to get them there. There is an opportunity to ready the market with a mobility pool of services to meet these demands. 

This workshop facilitated and lead by Teem Ventures is a structured conversation that will enable the group to sift through situational challenges, brainstorm ideas, and develop solutions for one of the two following problem statements. Attendees will be instrumental in developing a plan for determining the feasibility and implementation of the solution that can be immediately executed by Miami-Dade’s Department of Transportation and Public Works. 

1. How might we quickly and economically enable an on-demand pool of mobility services that can transport people safely during a crisis?

2. How might we deliver quickly changing information about the transport policies and resources available to the public in formats that work for them?
