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!

Thanks for this great capture, PRACHI J. VAKHARIA! This was an outstanding event, really moving the needle forward!
Fun Fridays at the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy Last Friday, my team and I were invited to join the Concrete Innovation Summit where the private and public sector were gather to help deploy low carbon #concrete and #cement! A timely report from The Wall Street Journal on why it's time to make concrete and cement greener now: https://lnkd.in/eUgNgqk3 Key announcements made at the event: - The DOT Federal Highway Administration announced a $9 million cooperative agreement with the University of California, Davis to accelerate the timeframe for widespread adoption of new low-carbon material innovations, including cement and concrete. - U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) announced up to $9 million for a new center to enable the safe and rapid development and adoption of low-carbon cement and concrete technology solutions. - RMI and the Center for Green Market Activation secured support from private sector pioneers, including Meta, Trammel Crow, Brimstone, and Sublime, for Coordinated Corporate Action on Low-Emissions Concrete, sending a strong signal that the U.S. market is ready for low-emissions building materials. The first-of-its-kind effort links companies across the supply chain to take direct action on embodied carbon from concrete and cement through innovative, collaborative mechanisms like demand aggregation and book and claim systems. - TheNewClimate, Inc. announced TheNewConcrete Fund, a nonprofit concrete decarbonization fund primarily focused on leveraging institutional and philanthropic capital to support the rapid scale-up of late-stage low-carbon concrete technologies with an annual goal of 5 million tons of ultralow-carbon concrete produced at cost parity. The fund is currently financing its first low-carbon concrete facility. Shout out to the White House and CEQ team: Andres Clarens Suyog P.!

Last week, Dr. Robert C. Hampshire and SMART Director Stan Caldwell visited with the Chattanooga Area Regional Transportation Authority to discuss the $2M grant received from U.S. Department of Transportation's SMART program. The technology being deployed will, in part, prioritize buses at traffic signals if they are behind on schedule.
