What I Learned
A city needs to recognize that its citizens are to be viewed as customers• Toll agencies recognize this• DOTs are starting to due to TSMO
Further solidifies Ladders of Opportunity

Crunch
What’s Next Pittsburgh - $11 million to deploy smart traffic signal
technology San Francisco - $11 million to implement CV technologies
to allow the signal system to detect red light-violating vehicles and personal wireless devices to prioritize pedestrian travel and safety at intersections
Denver - $6 million to upgrade its TMC, build a CV network, and install automated pedestrian detection
Portland – TriMet to integrate shared- use mobility options into its existing trip planning app

What’s Next - Columbus Conversion of city vehicle fleets, public transit, and
taxis to electric. Conversion of private fleets electric. Decarbonization of the city’s electricity grid. Deployment or field testing of autonomous vehicles Increased consumer adoption of electric vehicles. Development of lessons learned, data-driven metrics,
sustainable financing tools, and best practices.

Smart City vs. Smart Community
General consensus to use communities
ITE and ITS America using this term
More inclusive
Allows for engagement and sharing of resources

How to Be a Smart Community Engage and Leverage Stakeholders
• Think outside of the box• Not just transportation
Identify 1-3 key problems or issues that can be solved and measured
Find or create the data sources to measure Constantly reinvent and challenge yourself
