Welcome and Thank You for Your Interest! We hope that you will join us in 2026.

Local Organizer registration for iyai+’s 2026 Sustainable Mobility Career Awareness & Virtual Grand Innovation Challenge youth program runs from October 21, 2025 to January 15, 2026.

A Local Host Organizer can be a partnership of local agencies, educational institutions, professional associations, non-profits, or employers. It is strongly recommended that a public transportation/mobility service organization be an active member of the Local Organizer team. Organizers can also form consortia to support one youth team for the virtual Grand Innovation Challenge competition.

Eligible youth participants are young adults aged 18 -25 years old as of February 1, 2026. There is no fee for youth participants; the Local Organizer fee is $3,500 USD, payable by March 31, 2026.
