Smart City Challenge — Columbus
Smart City Challenge – Columbus is a project that started in 2016, when it was revealed the number one source of GHG emissions in the U.S. is transportation-related activities. An initiative was launched to find a “smart city” partner willing to develop and model practices that reduce emissions from urban transportation sources and, in conjunction with the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT), we committed $10 million to the $50 million challenge. After an extensive review process, Columbus, Ohio was selected as the winner. Today, the city continues to benefit from the project which supports the use of EVs and other, low-carbon emitting vehicles.*
