Yesterday, we had the pleasure of hosting Dr. Robert Hampshire and Stan Caldwell from the U.S. Department of Transportation to celebrate Chattanooga winning the $2M SMART grant! We had leaders from the City of Chattanooga, The University of Tennessee at Chattanooga, EPB, Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority, and Chattanooga Quantum Collaborative join us to welcome them and update them on all the exciting things happening in Chattanooga with #quantum technology and VRU safety through connectivity. It was great to see some of our students—who are the driving force behind our projects—there to chat with Dr. Hampshire and Mr. Caldwell. One of Chattanooga’s biggest strengths is collaboration. We really saw the value of public-private (and university) partnerships emphasized yesterday. We’re lucky to have fantastic partners like Intelligent Transportation Society of America, AUDI AG, Qualcomm, HARMAN International, Leidos, Ouster, and others. Excited to see these technologies roll out and make an impact! A big shoutout to Coeo Media for helping plan and execute this visit.

Wrapping up a whirlwind few months of travel and exciting milestones for SMART with the annual Transportation Research Board #ARTS24. I got to present with other discretionary grant programs from across DOT and learn from the non-discretionary funding session (surprisingly, my favorite session! so engaging, such good hands-on education!). It was also great to see that SMART got so many mentions (thank you Brian Cronin, Andrew Glass Hastings) and SMART grantees got the chance to present (Heather Pickering-Hilgers, PMP). As SMART transitions from startup, making-first-grants-mode, to a more results-oriented, transitioning-to-Stage-2-grants mode, it's exciting to see more awareness of the projects and learnings coming out of them! Thanks you Ashley Nylen, PMP, Mubassira Khan, PhD, PE and Ian Berg for the opportunity!
