The Strategic Institute for Sustainable & Innovative Transportation Solutions™ National Transportation Think Tank Summit

The Strategic Institute for Sustainable & Innovative Transportation Solutions™ (The SISI) will host a first-of-its-kind national Transportation Think Tank Summit on Friday, December 5, 2025, at Florida Blue’s Jacksonville campus. A national call to action, this one-day event brings together major hospital systems, transportation executives, insurers, policy leaders, and community advocates to tackle a major but underreported driver of poor health outcomes: lack of transportation to medical care.

This issue affects millions—3.6 million Americans miss medical appointments each year because they simply cannot get there. The disparities are most severe for cancer patients, low-income families, rural residents, and the uninsured.

The Summit offers strong visuals and compelling storytelling opportunities, including:

• Interviews with national transportation and healthcare leaders

• Real patient narratives and lived-experience advocates

• Keynote remarks from Jacksonville Transportation Authority CEO Nathaniel P. Ford Sr.

• A Fireside Chat with Florida Blue Market President Darnell Smith

• Cross-industry demonstrations of innovative transportation and health access solutions

This is a powerful local-to-national story with human impact, equity implications, and strong visuals for broadcast. A full media advisory is

enclosed for your planning. Please call with questions. Hope to see you there!
