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 inclusive economic growth in underrepresented Michigan communities, helping them take advantage of new opportunities.
WE AIM TO:
Collaborative Partnerships
The Economic Growth Institute (EGI) at the University of Michigan, in partnership with Michigan Clean Cities (MICC), has launched the Michigan Vehicle Technology Transition Impact Project (MiVTTP).
Projected Outcomes Include:
- Host local listening sessions to understand potential impact
- Prepare communities with consensus-driven, community-based action plans
- Provide communities with workforce training and technical assistance models
- Raise awareness and support communities in their response to potential challenges and opportunities of the transition to electric vehicles

The Economic Growth Institute at the University of Michigan is an outward facing group that has been part of the university for more than 40 years. Every day we work toward equitable economic growth for local, state, and national economies by working with small- and medium-sized enterprises and communities.
