Mobility Madness at Georgia Tech

‘Mobility Madness’ is a new series of events focused on sustainable, equitable, and resilient transportation.

 Launched in 2026 by Assistant Professor Rounaq Basu, these events are scheduled in early April following the conclusion of March Madness. The thematic focus is on mobility, featuring speakers whose expertise spans academia and planning practice. All events will be held in-person and are open to the entire Georgia Tech community. 

Basu gratefully acknowledges support from the School of City and Regional Planning and the Center for Urban Resilience and Analytics for this series.
