Location: Northwest Washington state
Size: 83.78 square miles
Population: 725,000
Seattle's population increased 121,000 between
2006 and 2010, with more growth expected in
the coming decade. Yet, against nationwide
trends, the city has kept the number of singleoccupancy vehicles entering the city during rush
hour below 25 percent.
Last year, Seattle released its New Mobility
Playbook addressing the need for equitable,
efficient transportation for young tech workers.
Now, city officials, who are grappling with the
effect of rapid gentrification in relation to rising
housing costs, envision creating a transportation
system that emphasizes equitable, seamless
access to multiple modes of transportation.
Davis said Seattle and Portland, Ore., are
leaders in electrification and decarbonization
programs.

OSLO

Location: Norway's southern coast
Size: 175.3 square miles
Population: 647,600
Oslo has launched several projects to be
smarter and eco-friendly. For example, 2,000
charging stations for electric vehicles have been
installed throughout the capital city. EVs are
incentivized with offers of a no-tax purchase,
no value-added tax, free parking, free passing
through the toll ring, access to the bus lane, free
vehicle charging and free transport on ferries.
The toll ring - automated toll stations on all
entry roads - reduces congestion by charging
non-EV drivers to pass. Oslo invests the majority of that revenue in public transportation
improvements and walking and cycling infrastructure. With the toll ring, Oslo aims to reduce
traffic by 15 percent in 2019.

Montreal has applied for the Canadian version
of the Smart City Challenge. The winner will be
announced in spring. The Smart and Digital City
office focuses on nine areas to improve connectivity, communication and transportation.
The city aims to collect and share data in real
time to make transportation more seamless.
Montreal also plans to encourage startups, investors and researchers to collaborate.
"Montreal will become an enormous laboratory
that nurtures local talent, developing technology solutions together with them which in turn
can be exported," according to the Smart and
Digital City office's website.
