What does “Smart Mobility” mean? In Tampa, it means applying technology to real-life mobility challenges. This presentation will address where we have come from in the City of Tampa and where we see Tampa in the future as we seek to take on these challenges head-on in a rapidly changing transportation ecosystem. Connecting people with places involves closing gaps in transportation networks, communication networks, modal choices, and service provision. Smart Mobility has a role in each of these and the City of Tampa is pursuing all the above, opening the city to pilot programs with the end goal of increasing the quality of life for everyone who lives, works, or plays here. This presentation will address Tampa’s overall Smart Mobility strategies as well as some specific projects and pilots recently undertaken.
