Dear Friend of SMART,

Please tell us who you think should win the PEOPLE'S CHOICE AWARD for SMART's Mobi Prize. (see www.mobiprize.com)

As you know, a little while back SMART launched the Mobi Prize for innovative and sustainable transportation enterprises, with help from the Rockefeller Foundation and other partners.

We received a cascade of diverse submissions from all over the world demonstrating innovative, replicable, and accessible products, technologies, services, and systems.

Please help us figure out which ones best fit the prize goals to advance sustainable transportation systems, introduce and replicate new solutions and new and innovative business models, serve the urban poor, and support young entrepreneurs.

There are three prizes - $5k and a trip to Rio and top mentorship for 3 winners. Two will be selected by our panel of final judges (see http://www.mobiprize.com/judges/)

One will be selected by YOU through our on line People's Choice Poll.

Voting is easy. Just go to http://www.mobiprize.com/voting/.

Review the short list of 15 inspiring entries and follow the instructions to pick your top 3 selections.

We hope to announce the three prize winners on or around May 1.

Thanks for weighing in and helping SMART contribute to a sustainable, innovative future of transportation.

Cheers!

Sue Zielinski
