As the sole winner of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s (USDOT) first-ever Smart City Challenge, Columbus was awarded more than funding and designation as America’s Smart City. We won the coveted job of “becoming smart” by embracing the reinvention of transportation to accelerate human progress. And with it, the responsibility to be a teacher for cities as they evolve around the world.

A major step forward for our city is the introduction of our open data platform, the Smart Columbus Operating System (SCOS). 

Data is the foundation of a smart city and the SCOS, and the SCOS will be the data backbone of the USDOT grant projects. There is a vision that the SCOS will evolve into a integrated, holistic data platform, aggregating a robust set of public and private data that may be harnessed to uplift quality of life in our city.

Join our panel to hear about how Columbus plans to utilize data to build our smart city, and how you can get involved.
