Smart Cities & Innovation
The Smart Cities & Innovation Committee shares, manages and evaluates smart city and innovation policies and projects, potential partnerships and funding opportunities.
The Committee typically meets at 12 noon on the second Thursday of each month following the Operations & Oversight (O&O) Committee meetings. Meetings alternate between HRT’s administrative offices in Norfolk at 509 East 18th Street, and in Hampton at 3400 Victoria Boulevard based on the same location as the O&O Committee. Webinars may be held in lieu of in-person events and will be noted on this page.
Meeting locations and dates are subject to change, but proper notice will be given.
Mission Statement
To identify and support opportunities to deploy technologies and innovations within HRT with a goal of providing more efficient, safe and reliable transit to all of our riders and increase ridership.
