“I think smart city technologies matter more than ever.”
Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg poses for a portrait at the Department of Transportation offices in Washington, DC.
Authorized under the 2021 Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation program was established as a pot of money that cities, states, transit agencies, tribal governments, and other entities could tap into to test out new technologies. The $1 trillion infrastructure law included $500 million for these “smart” mobility projects over five years, with the first awardees being announced this week.
“Little things like that can make all the difference in terms of whether somebody decides that using the bus is the right answer for them,” Buttigieg said. USDOT will be vigilant about addressing problems that arise from these projects. “To begin to get traction on solving those problems, we have to see how these technologies work in the real world,” Buttigieg said.
