In the deployment of technology to solve real-world problems with our municipal and equity partners, there are critical (sometimes unforeseen) policy considerations; and that informed, research-driven policymaking is central to improving our region. In collaboration with Traffic21, our expertise in this area helps guide civic leaders to harness the power of intelligent transportation systems and smart cities technologies, while managing the inherent risks and protecting constituents. Based in the rigorous, cutting-edge findings of CMU faculty and drawing upon Heinz College’s expertise in data-driven public policy, our policy papers and white papers are a roadmap for the future of transportation and smart cities legislation.
