The City of Philadelphia was awarded a $2,000,000 Project Grant from the U.S. Department of Transportation under the Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Grants Program (CFDA 20.941). The purpose of this 18-month grant is to address the city's challenges related to scarcity of right-of-way (ROW) space and lack of information about ROW users. The grant funding will support digitizing street, sidewalk, and curbside infrastructure within the project area, and developing an online application to communicate ROW information to users. Key activities include deploying advanced traffic sensors, smart cameras, and upgraded signal technology to collect anonymous data on travel times, patterns, and routing. This data collection will enable the city to make more informed decisions about transportation infrastructure and ROW management. The intended beneficiaries are the citizens of Philadelphia.
