At the South Bay Cities Council of Governments, we’re thrilled to be working with Mobilitee on our regional mobility hubs initiative. Dan brings unmatched expertise in this space — no one has studied or championed mobility hubs more deeply. From our very first meeting, it was clear he offered the fresh perspective we needed. His rare blend of systems thinking, consumer insight, and decades as a micromobility pioneer is helping shape a truly innovative and human-centered mobility future for the South Bay.

There are only a handful of people with the expertise to guide us through the next frontier of transportation planning. Dan brings more than 30 years of experience and a dynamic vision to shape the strategies that will generate the next leap in market share growth.
I wouldn’t want to enter into long-range strategic change efforts in regional transportation planning and visioning without someone like Dan at my side.

Dan Sturges has a vibrant sense of what can come next. He can help people break through mindsets that limit advancements. He can engage experts, the public and even children in re-imagining mobility. And most importantly, he can turn all of this into tangible products and systems.
People have the deepest respect for Dan’s creativity, expertise, and courage for staying the course on an enormous social transformation.
Mark Charmer
Founder
Movement Design Bureau
I had Dan as a mobility design professor at College for Creative Studies for only one semester. But he inspired and left a lasting impression on me that you can just do things—and form the world into your own reality.

Dan is the kind of person we need given today’s challenges. He is absolutely brilliant, brimming with huge creativity. He is extremely forward-thinking. But he is not a blue sky dreamer. He has the experience and know-how to bring his ideas to fruition.

Dan’s ideas are not just theories. Breaking completely new ground in real innovation is the most difficult thing imaginable. Dan is better at this most exciting and most painful part of the design process than almost any other person I have ever met. He makes very new ideas real.
Steve McDonald
Nike Design
Dan is one of the most visionary, holistic thinkers about innovation and mobility—in particular how vehicles, information technology, buildings, and energy systems come together to create a future that’s not just greener, not just better, but cool.
He brings a unique combination of transportation, design, and systems thinking to paint a very compelling picture of what happens when companies, policy makers, and consumers rethink how we get around, and how to do it better, especially in an energy- and carbon-constrained world.
Joel Makower
Chairman
Trellis Group
Dan is a hub in the transportation network. He knows everyone and everyone shares a deep
respect for his intellect. For many of us, our career paths were shaped by Dan’s vision. Dan gets right to the heart of the new transportation paradigm. After talking to Dan, you have an entirely new set of images in your head about what transportation means and how it impacts our daily lives.
Dan can take a nugget of an idea, and with his exceptional design skills, turn it into the seeds of a business idea. He is a great partner in the early stages of implementation when it is critical to explore all the potential avenues.
