Funding received from the Smart City Challenge will be used to build a mix of hard and soft infrastructure that provides equitable access to affordable and time-efficient mobility solutions. The City of Detroit, supported by: • Michigan Department of Transportation (MDOT), a national leader in intelligent transportation system (ITS) solutions; • University of Michigan (UM), the leading research institution for connected and automated vehicles; and • NextEnergy, a nationally recognized accelerator for energy and transportation technologies will partner with industry leaders such as General Motors (GM) and innovators such as Google’s SideWalk Labs to add “smart” technologies (sensors, cameras, communications, software apps, and data analytics), specialized vehicles (connected, automated, and electric vehicles) and new business models (car sharing, ride sharing, bike sharing, smart parking, and multimodal fare payment) to improve safety, mobility and the environment in Detroit. Making these investments in Detroit will have a significantly greater impact on equity and inclusion than they would in any other city in America due to our unique mobility challenges. In addition, our approach will create repeatable models for community engagement, asset mapping, and low cost and high speed investment strategies for mid- sized cities across the country. Detroit is uniquely positioned to lead the nation in the development and deployment of these smart city mobility solutions because: 1. IT MATTERS MOST HERE. In no other mid-sized cities are car ownership rates so low (74.8% in Detroit vs. national average of 90.8%), jobs so spread out (115,000 Detroiters leave the city for jobs vs. 65,000 who live and work in the city), and transit systems so underdeveloped and fragmented (65% of transit dependent households are beyond a 10 minute walk to transit options and only 22% of the regions jobs are accessible within a 90 minute fixed route transit commute). In addition, Detroit has one of the highest poverty rates among mid-sized cities (39.3% of Detroit households live below the poverty line) and lowest employment rates (53% of CITY OF DETROIT FROM “MOTOR CITY” TO “MOBILITY CITY” 87% 1 1 IN 3 DETROIT RESIDENTS ARE LIVING Detroiters age 18-64 worked any hours last year vs. BELOW THE POVERTY LINE (39.3%) national average of 75%). 30 1 IN 3 DETROIT RESIDENTS ARE LIVING BELOW THE POVERTY LINE (39.3%) PERCENTAGE OF 30 26.2% DETROIT 30 74.8%DETROIT CAR OWNERSHIP 74.8% DETROIT PERCENTAGE OF ARE BEYOND A 30-MINUTE WALK TO FIXED- ROUTE TRANSIT CAR OWNERSHIP NATIONAL 9.2% NATIONAL 90.8% AVERAGE AVERAGE 1 IN 5 OF TRANSIT- NATIONAL DEPENDENT 90.8% AVERAGE HOUSEHOLDS As the Motor City, we have a legacy transportation system and land use patterns almost totally reliant on personal auto ownership. As a result, many Detroiters lack affordable access to mobility. Our urban core, while rapidly being re-developed to include walkable neighborhoods with transit, car share and bike share options, is still dominated by auto patterns, with the resulting negative congestion, parking land use, pedestrian and biker safety issues, and environmental impacts. But the biggest impact may be the economic hardship driven by the lack of affordable, accessible mobility options. Our key challenge, then, is to leapfrog the limitations of our 20th century personal auto- based transportation with 21st century smart city technologies that enable cleaner, smarter, more efficient and, perhaps most importantly, equitable mobility solutions - to transform from Motor City to Mobility City. Building a next-generation transportation system which provides efficient and effective access in a low-density environment will fundamentally change the lives of many lower-income individuals and families that currently face daunting transportation challenges, and will create models that can be used in mid-sized cities all across the country. Moreover, providing additional and more seamlessly connected mobility options will substantially accelerate the re-population of the City of Detroit. Introducing these smart, technology-enabled, equitable mobility options allows us to accelerate the re-building of The vision of “Mobility City” is to implement 21st century smart city technologies to enable cleaner, smarter, more efficient and, perhaps most importantly, equitable mobility solutions. Detroit by fostering neighborhood vibrancy, walkability and density, with less need for car ownership and parking, or the massive investments in fixed route transit services that such urban forms typically require. Investing in smart infrastructure to provide flexible multimodal options eliminates the need for massive investments in hard transit infrastructure. While cities across America are investing tens of billions of dollars in rail and bus rapid transit (BRT) systems to link and densify neighborhoods, we in Detroit, with the Smart City grant, will implement smart technologies and develop new service models to achieve many of the same goals more quickly and less expensively. In addition, investing in this technology now, as we are aggressively redeveloping and re- building our city, allows us to re-shape our land use planning and regulation, so that we can actively shape neighborhoods in partnership with these investments. 2. WE KNOW HOW TO SOLVE IT. We will partner with industry leaders to add smart technologies, specialized vehicles and new business models to provide equitable solutions that improve safety, mobility and environment in Detroit. We will form a Program Management Office in the Office of the Mayor supported by: • MDOT, a national leader in ITS solutions; • UM, the leading research institution for connected and automated vehicles and home to the Transportation Research Institute (UMTRI), the Mobility Transformation Center (UM-MTC) which operates MCity, a 32 acre test facility for connected and automated vehicles, and the Sustainable Mobility & Accessibility Research & Transformation program (UM-SMART), a systems-based approach to catalyze systematic and fundamental transformations of mobility / accessibility systems consistent with a sustainable human future; • NextEnergy, a nationally recognized accelerator for energy and transportation technologies. CITYOFDETROIT FROM“MOTORCITY”TO“MOBILITYCITY” 2  At the core of our proposal are key infrastructure assets and partnerships already in place or under development. Specifically, we plan to: • Build out the information communications technology (ICT) infrastructure on the backbone of existing dedicated short range communications (DSRC), public street lighting, and traffic light systems to provide expanded DSRC, sensors, cameras, data backhaul and ubiquitous Wi- Fi capabilities. Key partners*: Public Lighting Authority (PLA), MDOT, Sidewalk Labs, Rocket Fiber, ATT, Verizon • Provide connected, automated vehicle and electric vehicle fleets. Fleets will be used for car share, ride share, shuttle and delivery business models/use cases. Connected, automated vehicles will be used to provide first mile/last mile connections to transit nodes. Electrified fleets will be used to explore long-range electric car share options for first mile/last mile movement, and long-range electric delivery vans; both with potential for bidirectional and/ or smart charging so value-to-the-grid applications can be tested and evaluated. Key partners*: GM, Ford Motor Company (Ford), UM-MTC, MDOT, DENSO, Robert Bosch (Bosch), DTE Energy • Explore car share, bike share, and ride share business models that effectively address first- mile/last-mile challenges, as well as provide low-income mobility access and low-income employment. Explore value of ride share and/or car share business models to optimize the MetroLift Paratransit, Job Access and Reverse Commute (JARC) and New Freedom programs through improved DDOT service levels and/or public- private partnerships to provide on call services through third-party provider(s). Key partners*: GM, Ford, MDOT, DDOT, Lyft • Optimize existing parking solutions, shuttle routes and vehicles using connected technologies and specialized connected vehicles, while partnering with anchor employers, health care providers and educational institutions. Consider opt-in building owner involvement in smart mobility solutions (kiosks, time-to-arrival notification, etc.). Key partners*: GM, Rock Ventures Family of Companies (Rock Ventures), DTE Energy, Detroit Medical Center (DMC), Henry Ford Health System (HFHS), Wayne State University (WSU), Detroit College for Creative Studies (CCS) • Create a connected access card “Mobility Passport” to provide ride request, single fare access, and parking payment options across public-private services. Mobility Passport will include single payment software, a dynamic pricing engine, and point-to-point messaging frameworks. Key partners*: Sidewalk Labs, Urban Insights, EastBanc Technologies • Build out DDOT bus system, M1 Rail, Detroit People Mover (DPM) and Rosa Parks Transit Center with connected kiosks, shelters, and station technologies.

IT’S BEST REALIZED HERE AND NOW. Detroit’s proximity to the auto industry: The ecosystem here in Detroit and southeast Michigan is already poised as a global mobility center. Proximity to the global automotive OEMs, especially our partners GM and Ford, as well as the key Tier 1 suppliers who are already working on the most advanced connected and automated vehicle technologies, makes Detroit the perfect place to invest in real-world infrastructure so that the latest connected and automated vehicles can be tested in a real-world environment. As connected and automated vehicle technologies move through development and testing at the 300+ automotive R&D centers in the region, through the off-roadway simulation facilities at UM-MCity, the 32-acre testing environment designed to put highly- automated vehicles through their paces before they can be safely deployed on actual roadways, they will have a nearby willing neighbor, the City of Detroit, that can support the next step: real vehicles, on real roads, under real city conditions. As the auto industry is working toward Level 4 automation, it is critical that their scientists and engineers are co-located with everything they need to keep the innovations moving forward— a robust supply chain of innovation partners, world class research and testing facilities, and a nearby marketplace so that their urban scientists can conduct the human/machine interface (HMI) studies, i.e., watch real people in real situations, in order to move forward towards fully automated vehicles. Detroit is ready. Detroit is poised at a unique moment in time when there is a compelling vision, a recently built track record of addressing real challenges, the near-perfect mix of enabling infrastructure in place so that there is something to build upon, and real mobility challenges that invite a rich set of pilots and rollouts. The last time Detroit had such an opportunity to rebuild itself was in 1805, after a fire swept through the City that left one building standing. It has been said the smartest city is yet to be built because it is in the building that the smart technologies can be deployed. Detroit is poised for such a re-building. Since taking office, Mayor Duggan has made significant progress in terms of rebuilding infrastructure in the City of Detroit and raising the quality and responsiveness of police, fire, and city services. The city has gone from bankruptcy to balanced books. Detroit is ahead of schedule on its plan to outfit the city with 65,000 smart, connected, LED streetlights. Detroit has cut EMS response times in half and shaved 12 minutes off of police response times. More than 7,500 vacant, dangerous structures have been demolished. And there are 80 more buses on the streets, the most in 20 years. In other words, Detroit’s ability to take big challenges head-on and solve them is only getting stronger. We are moving beyond basic services, and are focused on rebuilding Detroit using 21st century technologies. We are in the midst of: • Rebuilding our streetlights with smart technologies that facilitate Wi-Fi, DSRC, cameras, sensors and backhaul through the PLA City street lights provide ICT backbone: 65,000 lights to be upgraded by 2016. Source: PLA CITYOFDETROIT FROM“MOTORCITY”TO“MOBILITYCITY” 4  • Upgrading our bus fleet with connected vehicle technologies that provide better safety, rider security, and locational information so we can better serve our riders; • Improving our downtown and midtown using transit, smart parking, car share and bike share so our precious land is not needed for parked cars, and the people who live, work and visit can get around in timely and affordable ways. We have basic transit assets in place (DDOT, SMART and Windsor Transit bus services, DPM, and Amtrak) as well as new assets coming on line (M1 Rail and BRT) and numerous private services offering campus-based or user group shuttle services (See Sections 3A and 8 for a complete description of existing transportation assets). Investing now, through the Smart City Challenge, to connect these assets with smart technologies, and supplement their value through new business models has the potential to create quantum improvements in equitable mobility access and overall service levels at a fraction of the cost of building traditional transit assets. Our infrastructure to support connected and automated vehicles and connected citizens already includes: • MDOT’s Southeast Michigan Transportation Operations Center located just outside of Downtown Detroit as well as the City of Detroit’s Traffic Management Center in Southwest Detroit; • Connected vehicle and DSRC networks throughout the Detroit Metropolitan area, including the country’s first urban canyon installation in downtown Detroit, the Ann Arbor Connected Vehicle Test Environment (AACVTE) with over 2800 vehicles and 25 road units deployed, and USDOT affiliated test beds in Midtown at NextEnergy and Detroit’s east side at the Coleman A. Young Municipal Airport (City Airport) operated by Detroit Aircraft Corporation; • High-speed, gigabit fiber-optic communications networks by Merit Network and Rocket Fiber; • In-depth mapping capabilities currently provided to the City of Detroit from Nearmap. 4. DETROIT CAN GET IT DONE. Detroit has the leadership capacity and the partnership network to get it done. The City of Detroit has demonstrated effective leadership, alignment and working relationships at the city, state, and federal levels of government, as well as a track record of creating significant private investment and public-private partnerships. Highlights of recent accomplishments are summarized in the table below. In addition, Section 3B describes more examples of strong leadership from the Mayor’s office, proven experience and expertise in large scale connected vehicle pilots, well established pattern of public private partnerships, and enabling steps already in place. To complement the City’s capabilities and position Detroit for Mobility City, Detroit has world class partners from industry and innovation networks described in Section 7, as well as thought leaders UM-MTC (connected and automated vehicle technologies), MDOT (exploration and deployment of ITS), and NextEnergy (public private partnerships to deploy technologies). SECTION 1A: OUR APPROACH This effort will be led by the newly formed Office of Smart Infrastructure within the Mayor’s Office with the primary responsibility to connect and coordinate the work and resources of external partners/ stakeholders, as well as internal city departments. The project team supporting the City of Detroit will include experienced connected, automated and ITS vehicle systems leadership and project implementation professionals from MDOT, UM and NextEnergy. MDOT and UM are well known program partners for the USDOT with years of experience leading work on a national scale involving all facets of connected and automated vehicles and ITS. They bring systems and applications already developed into the smart city environment, such as vehicle-to- infrastructure applications, and the back-end data processing systems needed to handle a smart city transportation network. Since 2012, UMTRI has been leading the USDOT connected vehicle safety pilot model deployment and its follow-on study and has outfitted 2,800+ vehicles (cars, trucks, buses, motorcycles and bikes) with DSRC connected technologies, installed 25 roadside units throughout the greater Ann Arbor, MI area, and has collected 100+ billion records and over 70+ terabytes of data over 3.5 years. In 2014, MDOT partnered with the City of Detroit to develop the country’s first urban canyon connected vehicle test bed as a demonstration project for the 2014 ITS World Congress in Detroit. NextEnergy is one of the nation’s leading accelerators of advanced energy and transportation technologies and specializes in assembling public- private partnerships in order to demonstrate and deploy next generation technologies. Since its founding in 2002, they have participated in over $160 Million in programs with industry partners, and secured funding from the Department of Energy, Department of Transportation, Department of Defense, Environmental Protection Agency, Economic Development Administration of the Department of Commerce, National Institute of Science and Technology, and the National Science Foundation, as well as the State of Michigan.
