Energizing Communities
MiVTTP (Michigan Vehicle Technology Transition Impact Project) conducts listening sessions to gather information to help local workers and economies adapt to the automotive industry’s transition to electric vehicles. The insights gained will be used to develop strategies for economic growth in Michigan communities, helping them take advantage of new opportunities.
