Smart Oakland Shifts Gears: Wrapping Up Idea Generation and Transitioning to Proposal Writing

To date, we have had over 3,600 page views of the Smart Oakland blog and we expect many more in the next week! Your ideas and comments have been a driving force in Oakland's open, crowdsourced response to the U.S. Department of Transportation's Smart City Challenge. Thank you Oakland and others pulling for Oakland everywhere!

With one week to go before proposals must be submitted, the Smart Oakland project team is shifting gears. Beginning tonight, Thursday, January 28, you are still invited to submit ideas and information, but the team may not be able to respond or address them until after the February 4th deadline.


In an attempt to keep the proposal development process as open and transparent as possible, the master draft will continue to be hosted online, but comment and editing privileges will be limited to a limited number of folks on the Smart Oakland project team. Others are encouraged to help by submitting comments through the posts dedicated to each major section of the proposal:

Vision
Population Characteristics
Other Characteristics
Demonstration Site Map
Project Approach & Alignment to Elements
Risk Assessment & Mitigation Plans
Project Partners and Governance Processes
Existing Transportation Infrastructure
Data: Collection, Sharing and Security
Cooperative Approach to Demonstration
Goals & Objectives
Commitment and Capacity
Cost share, in-kind donations and partnering opportunities
