Event Overview
Mobility 10x: Accelerating Transportation Innovation Across California is the capstone event of the Resilient and Innovative Mobility Initiative (RIMI)—a four-year research effort launched in 2021 by the University of California Institute of Transportation Studies (UC ITS).
Designed as a forward-looking forum, this invitation-only event brings together academia, government, and other sectors to drive tenfold improvements in transportation outcomes, whether in policy impact, emissions reduction, or system performance. Focused on ten critical topics at the intersection of climate-neutral mobility, resilience, equity, safety, and innovation, the Mobility 10x Summit is about transformational change, not just incremental improvement—multiplying the impact of research and policy to shape a more sustainable and equitable transportation future for California.
