The beginning of the second quarter of 2024 felt like a good time to update the 𝙍𝙀𝙎𝙐𝙇𝙏𝙎 section of our website. We love to brag on the great work being done by friends and partners like U3 Advisors, the Center for Urban Informatics and Progress, the Community Foundation of Greater Chattanooga, and the Memphis Brooks Museum of Art. Check out 𝙘𝙤𝙚𝙤.𝙢𝙚𝙙𝙞𝙖/𝙧𝙚𝙨𝙪𝙡𝙩𝙨 to see these updates and more!

We are excited to collaborate with STEM School Chattanooga, Mr. James DiLorenzo, and students on their junior capstone projects. They plan to use the MLK Smart Corridor or the simulator for their projects. Can't wait to see what they will come up with!

Beep beep! UTC's first autonomous vehicle coming through! 🚗 💨 Technically a research and development (R&D) autonomous vehicle platform, this cool ride from Hexagon | AutonomouStuff will cruise the MLK Smart Corridor, gathering real-time data on the downtown traffic. The data from this high-tech vehicle will help make our local streets smoother, safer and more environmentally friendly. Dr. Mina Sartipi, the Founding Director of the UTC Center for Urban Informatics and Progress (CUIP), sees this as unlocking a new era of understanding our city's rhythm. The MLK Smart Corridor is a collaboration between UTC, the City of Chattanooga, EPB and other local community partners.
