The Changing Face of Transportation
 

The weather is really starting to heat up as  we  roll through July.  We hope everyone had a great Fourth, cele brating our nation's independence.  While we have been enjoy ing all that comes with summer, including vacations, barb ecues, and time at the pool, we've also been  working hard  to plan KYSITE's annual Scholarship golf outing.  More details on that are below.  We are also bringing back our member spotlight, getting to know Brandon Shelley, with Louisville Metro, a little better this month. 

If there is anything we can do for you, don't hesitate to reach out! And we hope to see you out on the links in 2 weeks!

The USDOT has pledged up to $40 million (funding subject to future appropriations) to one city to help it define what it means to be a "Smart City "and become the country's first city to fully integrate innovative technologies - self-driving cars, connected vehicles, and smart sensors - into their transportation network.

Seven finalists were selected from seventy eight applicants and the winning city was Columbus, OH.  Check out the link   to see all seven video pitches.

The World's Best Cycling Infrastructure
 
Today's best bicycle architecture takes us to apartments in Denmark, where residents can cycle all the way to their doorsteps, as far as 10 stories high. Thanks to Charles Schaub for passing these along!
