Sean Jones is a civic technology and mobility access innovator working to improve how Detroit residents reach essential services. His work centers on transportation equity, accessibility, and the design of practical tools that help individuals navigate healthcare, legal, and community-support systems. Sean believes that improving mobility is one of the most powerful ways to strengthen public health, reduce missed appointments, and expand opportunities for underserved families.
As the founder of ART — Architects of Relatable Technology — Sean builds community-informed digital solutions that simplify navigation across complex public systems. Through this work, he saw a consistent gap: even when information and resources are available, many Detroiters still struggle to physically get to medical visits, court dates, social-service providers, and disability-support programs. Mobility challenges remain one of Detroit’s largest barriers to equity.
Through the Change Collective Fellowship, Sean will develop a mobility-access initiative focused on improving transportation reliability for individuals with disabilities, caregivers, and residents facing financial or geographic barriers. His project explores community ride coordination, transportation-support partnerships, and user-centered mobility tools that increase independence and service access.
Sean is committed to collaborating with Detroit leaders to create a more connected, accessible, and mobile city where every resident can reach the support they need.
