Beyond Traffic: The Smart City Challenge
The USDOT is encouraging cities to put forward their best and most creative ideas for innovatively addressing the challenges they are facing.
The vision of the Smart City Challenge is to demonstrate and evaluate a holistic, integrated approach to improving surface transportation performance
within a city and integrating this approach with other smart city domains such as public safety, public services, and energy.
The USDOT intends for this challenge to address how emerging transportation data, technologies, and applications can be integrated with existing systems in a city to address transportation challenges.
The USDOT seeks bold and innovative ideas for proposed demonstrations to effectively test, evaluate, and demonstrate the significant benefits of smart city concepts.
See complete Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) document for application instructions, NOFO located under the "Related Documents" tab at grants.gov, Funding Opportunity Number DTFH6116RA0000 2.
For more information see www.transportation.gov/smartcity.
The USDOT will make an award of up to $40 Million award for one mid-sized city that can demonstrate how advanced data and intelligent transportation systems (ITS) technologies and applications can be used to reduce congestion, keep travelers safe, protect the environment, respond to climate change, connect underserved communities, and support economic vitality.
