Toyota Mobility Foundation Designates First Mobility Pilot Technologies and Collaborators for Indiana Future Mobility District Initiative

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, the Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF) and Energy Systems Network (ESN) designates May Mobility and Udelv as the first two deployments of the Future Mobility District initiative.

INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire-HISPANIC PR WIRE/ — Today, the Toyota Mobility Foundation (TMF) and Energy Systems Network (ESN) designates May Mobility and Udelv as the first two deployments of the Future Mobility District initiative. The Future Mobility District initiative, established in collaboration with the Indiana Economic Development Corporation (IEDC), aims to foster innovation through industry partnerships and propel research and development in advanced mobility technologies in Indiana. TMF has established the Future Mobility District initiative in support of Toyota’s mission of Mobility for All and commitment to the UN Sustainable Development Goals, in this case to the Goal # 11 of Sustainable Cities and Communities.

The Future Mobility District will support deployments focused on improving overall movement of people and goods to validate their role in the changing mobility ecosystem. Designed with local community input, this human-centered framework will facilitate implementation activities and commercialization of an array of cooperative options.

May Mobility, a leader in autonomous vehicle (AV) technology and shuttle operations, will begin operating two 6-month non-concurrent AV shuttle services for passengers in the cities of Indianapolis and Fishers. The Indianapolis deployment is designed to increase mobility options by providing a connection from the nearby Vermont Station – along IndyGO’s Red Line – to areas west of downtown. The fixed-route service will be open to the general public when operations begin in May 2021 and will include five Lexus RX450h vehicles equipped with May Mobility’s autonomous technology alongside one wheelchair-accessible Polaris GEM shuttle.

«The May Mobility team is thrilled to be partnering with the Toyota Mobility Foundation and Energy Systems Network to bring this new AV shuttle service to Indianapolis and Fishers,» said Edwin Olson, co-founder and CEO of May Mobility. «Our mission is to offer safe, reliable and accessible transportation options that can seamlessly integrate with the available public and private services. And with every new deployment, we are able to expand our capabilities to better serve the riders and communities.»

Prior to launching its operations, May Mobility will establish its regional headquarters at the Indiana Internet of Things (IoT) Lab in Fishers. Founded in 2017, the Indiana IoT Lab is one of the nation’s first to bring together various players in the growing IoT sector and contributes to making central Indiana a thriving hub of innovation, education, and networking opportunities. May Mobility will subsequently commence autonomous vehicle operations in Fishers in November 2021.

We’ve built our community to be smart and entrepreneurial in both business and lifestyle to make way for opportunities such as this,» said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness. «The partnership with ESN, Toyota Mobility Foundation, and May Mobility allows Fishers to be at the forefront of personal mobility in Indiana.»

Udelv, the world’s leading autonomous delivery platform for last and middle mile delivery, improves living quality in cities by reducing overall traffic and carbon footprint through their highly effective and innovative Delivery Management System (DMS), comprised of an automated cargo pod (the uPod®) and a cloud-based operating system, the UdelvOS. Udelv’s DMS is the only true contactless delivery system in the world. Through Udelv’s uPod, goods are retrieved from an individual compartment by consumers without direct contact with the vehicle’s driver. Udelv will begin operations of their program in 2021 in Indianapolis with one Toyota Sienna equipped with their innovative DMS technology.

«We are excited to now also deploy our platform on a Toyota Sienna in Indianapolis and allow for true contactless delivery and improved customer service levels while lowering cost and pollution in the process», says Daniel Laury, CEO of Udelv.

«As we actively pursue Mobility for All through our Future Mobility District initiative, we want to continue to partner with like-minded organizations like Udelv and May Mobility who understand the importance of advancing innovation in mobility through community engagement,» shared Ryan Klem, Director of Programs for the Toyota Mobility Foundation. «We are confident they are key players in helping to build the future of sustainable cities and communities.

«The introduction of the Indiana Future Mobility District’s first two mobility services are major steps forward for defining the initiative and validating its model for cost-effective and cooperative mobility technologies,» said Matt Peak, managing director, ESN. «The integration of additive technologies into the region’s existing transportation resources will continue to push central Indiana to the cutting edge of innovation and help inform deployment strategies in other regions.»

Additional details about the Future Mobility District initiative deployments and how to get involved will be made available in the coming months leading up to the launch of these pilots.

Living Cities Announces «Year of Reckoning» Work in Cities Across the Nation

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, an economic downturn and ongoing racial unrest are evidence that the United States needs a historical reckoning to understand how a history of inequity has led us to the current state of affairs.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 25, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The unprecedented COVID-19 pandemic, an economic downturn and ongoing racial unrest are evidence that the United States needs a historical reckoning to understand how a history of inequity has led us to the current state of affairs. Living Cities, in partnership with the People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond, Third Space Action Lab, Gumbo Media, and others, is engaging six cities–Albuquerque, NM; Austin, TX; Memphis, TN; Minneapolis, MN; Rochester, NY; and Saint Paul, MN–in a «Year of Reckoning» as part of its Closing the Gaps Network. Through their work, local government leaders will come together with the philanthropic, private, and non-profit sectors to reckon with the history of systemic racism, develop shared language and analysis, and commit to being accountable to low-income communities of color. The first convening of city leaders was held in November 2020.

The participating cities have made a profound 10-year commitment to racial equity at all levels and will work intensively over the next decade to reckon with the role local government has played and continues to play in creating inequities and to chart a new path forward. Together, they will work to understand what it takes to undo racism in government policy and practice. Through a curriculum supporting deep analysis of history, city leaders are reckoning with what it will take to heal, reconcile, and build transformational relationships with Black, Brown and Indigenous communities most impacted by local government decisions.

«For years, we purposely set back generations of people of color in Austin. We must fix our actions, stop the ongoing harm and heal this city. A Year of Reckoning gives us that opportunity,» said Mayor Steve Adler of Austin, TX.

During the Year of Reckoning, cities will be supported in:

  • Organizing cross-department teams to understand how public servants can advance racial equity and inclusion as individuals, in their roles, and as key actors within systems;
  • Analyzing how local government operations, practices, and policies impact people of color;
  • Developing an understanding of what it will take to reconcile and heal the undue harm done to Black, Brown and Indigenous communities;
  • With cross-sector leaders, taking meaningful steps towards articulating shared results and creating power-sharing structures;
  • Developing racial equity action plans that will ultimately engage all departments; and
  • Creating and strengthening accountability mechanisms, primarily with low-income communities of color.

«Amid the many crises communities across our nation continue to face, our national reckoning on race and racism requires all of us to engage in building a more equitable future,» said Saint Paul, Minnesota Mayor Melvin Carter. «Alongside fellow cities in the Closing the Gap Network, our Year of Reckoning efforts will help chart a path forward toward realizing this vision.»

As part of the «Year of Reckoning,» cities will select practice areas to test strategies that show promise for closing racial gaps, such as ensuring that people have access to safe and quality housing, living wage jobs, and comprehensive opportunities for health & well-being. The Year of Reckoning is the foundational experience of Living Cities’ Closing the Gaps Network, which brings together city leaders who are committed to imagining what an anti-racist society might look like, and playing an important role in building it through transforming government policies, practices, and operations.

About Living Cities
Founded in 1991, Living Cities is a collaborative of the world’s largest foundations and financial institutions. Living Cities fosters transformational relationships across sectors to connect those who are willing to do the hard work of closing racial income and wealth gaps. The organization partners with cross-sector leaders in cities across the country to imagine and create an America in which all people are economically secure, building wealth and living abundant, dignified, and connected lives. To learn more about Living Cities and its member institutions, visit www.livingcities.org.

About the Closing the Gaps Network
The Closing the Gaps Network is a new ten-year effort launched by Living Cities with founding support from the Citi Foundation. It builds upon Living Cities’ decade long work at the intersection of municipal innovation, economic and racial justice. The Network brings together leaders from cities across the country who are committed to imagining what an antiracist society might look like, and to playing an important role in building it through the transformation of government policies, practices, and operations.
