It may get easier for visitors to get around Michigan's national parks and charge their electric vehicles, thanks to a state and federal partnership.
The state and the National Park Service are collaborating on a suite of "innovative mobility technologies" that can make it easier for visitors, regardless of crowds and their own physical mobility, to safely traverse the parks, according to a partnership announced last week.
"We know some of the big problems we're trying to solve," said Trevor Pawl, Michigan's chief mobility officer. "For instance, congestion, higher emissions than we'd like to see at national parks, connectivity issues, mobility issues."
