We envision a future where our state's transportation systems and supply chains are the most resilient, sustainable, and adaptive in the nation.

## Our Aspiration

ICM Forums are a “platform” for our strategic thought leaders from the private, public, academic, non-profit and consulting communities in Minnesota and beyond to come together and work on improving the transportation and supply chain options for our state and the Midwest region.  Our goal is to ensure ICM Forums are inclusive.  All who are interested and those who can contribute toward creating this public value in our transportation system are most welcomed to participate!

**Sponsors: Global Wellness Connection, Government Analytica, and SRF Consulting Group**

- Emission & Inequality:  Satellite data reveal that diesel trucking drives US air pollution inequality - Analysis of data from 52 major cities shows lower diesel traffic reduces NO2 exposure inequality along racial, ethnic, and economic lines.  In Phoenix, people living in poverty who are part of marginalized racial and ethnic groups experience levels of NO2 46% higher other areas. The numbers are similar in Los Angeles, and in Newark, New Jersey.   [LINK](https://cen.acs.org/environment/pollution/Satellite-data-reveal-diesel-trucking/99/i32)
