Through the Smart City Challenge, Columbus has deployed the most comprehensive portfolio of emerging mobility technologies of any city in five years—and we did it with the prosperity of our residents in mind. We’ve shown how safer, cleaner and more equitable transportation options can create opportunities for Columbus residents and prepare our region for the future.

Climate change and rising inequities show us that there is still much more to do. Smart Columbus will explore how mobility innovation, climate technologies, digitalization and other emerging technologies can help address complex societal problems, respond to disruption and generate economic opportunity.
