From drone delivery to micromobility, emerging businesses and ideas are optimizing the way that people and goods move around cities at an unprecedented pace. But with new opportunities come new challenges. If these nascent transportation technologies are going to be usefully integrated into our cities for the shared benefit of all, forward-thinking leadership will be required.

One of the most interesting champions of policy innovation to emerge on the national stage in recent years is Andrew Yang. The entrepreneur’s long-shot presidential bid last year galvanized millions, bringing many voters who had never participated in politics into the democratic process for the first time. In doing so, Yang transformed his signature policy proposal—universal basic income—from a fringe concern into a mainstream issue. Next he ran for mayor of New York City, a race he ultimately lost, promising to add cycling lanes and end car dependency, and often campaigning from the saddle of his bike.

At Micromobility America, Andrew Yang will join Wired’s Lauren Goode for a fireside chat where they’ll dive into the state of our pandemic-stricken cities and transportation systems. We’ll ask Yang about micromobility and mass transit, the infrastructure agenda in Washington, 15-min cities, and the role of automobiles in an increasingly urbanizing world.

You can join Andrew Yang, along with hundreds of other micromobility enthusiasts, at Micromobility America at San Francisco’s iconic Pier 70 on Sept 23 by registering here.
