About Smart Columbus
In 2016, Columbus received $50 million in grant funding to embrace the reinvention of transportation to accelerate human progress. This grant funding included $40 million from the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT) and $10 million from the Paul G. Allen Family Foundation.
These grants provided the seed funding for Smart Columbus, a regional Smart City initiative co-led by the City of Columbus and the Columbus Partnership.
