smart.columbus.gov

The City of Columbus has opened a facility to in part show off  technological innovations in transportation. 

The Smart Columbus Experience Center opened Saturday. Through educational displays, hands-on activities and test drives of electric cars, the center aims to show how technological advances in transportation, robotics, energy and communications can work together to improve everyday life. The center is part of the 40 million dollar Smart Cities Challenge grant Columbus won in 2016. The initiative's director says Columbus wants to become an example for other cities about how an interconnected computer network can ease congestion, improve business and protect the environment.
