Places around the globe are
forging partnerships and researching
smart ways to address mobility
BY HANNAH LUTZ AND SHIRAZ AHMED

f you represent a city that wants to improve its transportation system and find ways to
forge partnerships with local businesses, what better way to figure out the next steps than
to visit other cities that are models for the future of transportation?
Columbus, Ohio, has become one of those cities that attract visitors from around the
world who are trying to figure out how the city won the U.S. Department of Transportation's
Smart City competition. Jordan Davis, director of the Smart Cities for Columbus Partnership,
said delegations from about 50 cities visited Columbus last year to check out what the city
is doing.
"We are working hard to document and archive our learnings and story-tell best practices so
people can learn from us," Davis said at the Shift roundtable in June, which was sponsored by
JobsOhio. The city opened the Smart Columbus Experience Center in June to help educate the
public and government groups.
And when the city isn't hosting international travelers, its representatives head out across the
globe in search of other good ideas.
Here are some cities to check out if you're interested in how public-private partnerships work
in the transportation sector.

Columbus, Ohio:
Smart City winner
COLUMBUS
Location: Central Ohio
Size: 223.1 square miles
Population: 879,170
In 2016, Columbus won the U.S. Department
of Transportation's Smart City Challenge. It was
awarded $50 million in grant funding, $40 million from the DOT and $10 million from the Paul
G. Allen Family Foundation.
Public-private partnerships were the key to
a successful Smart City Challenge, the DOT
said in a statement announcing Columbus as
the winner. The department partnered with
Paul Allen's Vulcan Inc., Amazon Web Services,
NXP Semiconductors, Mobileye, Autodesk,
Alphabet's Sidewalk Labs, AT&T, DC Solar and
Continental Automotive.
But it's not just Columbus that is making
headway in transportation issues. The region
has other attractions such as Ohio's 33 Smart
Mobility Corridor, which has self-driving
car testing and a wide rollout of broadband
that allows vehicles to talk to the highway
infrastructure.
