  • Abstract:
    This report summarizes the proceedings of the 2026 NL-US Transportation Luncheon Symposium, a bilateral exchange between Dutch and American experts centered on the theme “Innovation and Mobility from Idea to Deployment.” The symposium was part of a long-standing technical exchange between the U.S. DOT Volpe Center, Rijkswaterstaat, and the Netherlands Institute for Transport Policy Analysis (KiM). The 2026 event explored how government agencies can effectively foster transportation innovation and featured speakers from the KiM, Mcity at the University of Michigan, and the University of San Francisco. Speakers examined the Netherlands’ Top sector Logistics program for freight innovation, the challenges of scaling mobility startups based on the Mcity and Zipcar models, and the operational integration of autonomous vehicles into urban transit systems. Ultimately, participants emphasized that successful deployment requires a shift in focus from pure technological development to systemic integration, requiring coordinated governance, long-term R&D support, and a clear alignment of public and private sector responsibilities.
