The age of freight mobility is now.
And yet, we have more work to do to realize the promise of the technological revolution underway.
The D2D Coalition is a Virginia Tech-led partnership of 90+ member organizations from industry, higher education, communities, and governments. Using a collaborative model, Virginia Tech brings together coalition members to facilitate innovation and advance a partnership platform.
