As the sole winner of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) first-ever Smart City Challenge, Columbus was awarded more than funding and designation as America’s Smart City. We won the coveted job of “becoming smart” by embracing the reinvention of transportation to accelerate human progress. And with it, the responsibility to be a teacher for cities as they evolve around the world.

The Smart Columbus effort is a coordinated effort across many organizations, both public and private. The program spans many different priorities as defined by both the Vulcan and USDOT grant, but also our city leadership.

This panel will tell the story of all of our Smart City efforts, as told by the women leading the charge.
