Transportation authorities are long-time innovators. Since 1966 when the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) was formed, transportation authorities have tracked citizen travel habits and changed road management as needed to ensure safe, convenient travel. And now, as the digital and physical travel worlds converge, authorities are planning for a nationwide electric vehicle (EV) charging network in their corridors.
Electric vehicles (EVs) are transforming and decarbonizing the mobility industry. With millions of new EVs expected on the roads in the near future, this trend will only accelerate in the coming years.
To maximize the benefits of this shift, for both consumers and the environment, it is also essential that we speed up the global roll-out of smart EV charging infrastructure.

The perception of the role of buildings is shifting to more of an enabler of creative, innovative work, of enhanced productivity. Core to that is the view through a sustainability lens.
Once considered the purview of Jetsons-era futurescapes, smart street systems have made the transition from science fiction to real city council planning agendas. Sensor-laden Wi-Fi kiosks, smart streetlights, EV charging stations and integrated urban mobility systems are generating rising interest as cities demand greater connectivity, resource efficiency, enhanced public safety and more effective municipal service delivery.
