We convene the Sustainability Leaders Group, a cross-sector network of business, government, nonprofit, and community leaders committed to shaping a greener, more resilient future for Central Ohio.

About 200,000 people in more than 80,000 Franklin County households do not have a home internet subscription, and more than 66,000 don't have a computer, officials say.

Today Mayor Andrew J. Ginther and Franklin County Commissioner John O’Grady announced a joint commitment of $20.2 million to Smart Columbus on behalf of the Franklin County Digital Equity Coalition.

Smart Columbus hasn't gone away. After spending $50 million in grant money on everything from vehicle charging stations to a transit app to driverless vehicles, the group is now focusing on digital equity.

Columbus is incentivizing its residents to try out electric bicycles.

These reports capture the early foundation of Smart Columbus, an ambitious set of public-private projects launched with support from the U.S. Department of Transportation and the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation.

The Franklin County Digital Equity Action Agenda lays out a clear, collective plan to ensure every resident has access to the tools and skills needed to fully participate in a digital world.
