A state advisory group whose mission is to keep Michigan competitive and central to the automotive industry has issued a new set of recommendations ranging from boosting public transit routes and electrifying buses to creating hydrogen fuel cell corridors on major highways along with more job training related to electric vehicles.
The recommendations come in a 33-page report Wednesday from the Michigan Council on Future Mobility and Electrification, which was created by Gov. Gretchen Whitmer in 2020.
Trevor Pawl, Michigan’s chief mobility officer and head of the Michigan Office of Future Mobility and Electrification, touted the goals of the council, made up of representatives from the auto industry, including Ford Motor Co., General Motors, Stellantis, Toyota and Rivian; the UAW; universities; advocacy groups and government officials.
