I've been following the Smart City challenge closely because a key partner is my employer, The University of Texas at Austin. Our Center for Transportation Research plans to work with large-scale data and that will improve how transportation providers, including businesses and government entities, shape mobility through management and operations. Meanwhile, the Austin Technology Incubator will offer entrepreneurial expertise to develop and implement practical, innovative solutions to problems addressed by the city and its partners. And the LBJ School of Public Affairs is addressing the linkage between transportation and affordability, working to increase access to opportunity for all. |
