Basic Objectives of SMI

The Sustainable Mobility Initiative (SMİ) is an independent think tank that provides innovative solutions for integrated, smart, and sustainable urban mobility. As a non-profit organization, SMİ focuses on generating data- driven solutions for the environmental, social, and economic impacts of urban mobility. SMİ aims to develop and implement a mobility framework that ensures a sustainable future, with a focus on addressing climate change through digitization and data-centric systems. The initiative is committed to involving the community at every level of the implementation phase. Motivated by the goal of equipping young generations, especially university students, with a perspective on sustainable mobility, SMİ is dedicated to encouraging them to be conscientiously prepared for the future. In this context, our key objectives include increasing awareness among young individuals about sustainable urban mobility through education and awareness activities, as well as preparing them for leadership roles in this field.

Our Mission

As a community dedicated to a sustainable future, we are committed to creating significant change and transformation in the field of mobility. Our goal as the Sustainable Mobility Initiative is to reshape the mobility sector, taking into account environmental, social, and economic impacts, and generate solutions for a more sustainable world. Additionally, we aim to establish the Sustainable Mobility Institute as a shared platform where all transportation ecosystems can access and contribute, fostering collaboration and innovation.

Our Vision

We strive to offer innovative solutions equipped with smart, integrated, and data-driven systems. With the aspiration to take a leading role in transitioning cities towards sustainable mobility, our vision focuses on harnessing the power of smart technologies, integrated systems, and data analytics. We have a mission to make our cities more livable, environmentally friendly, and accessible.
