Cybersecurity for Cities: A Bootstrapping Guide
City governments face a growing array of threats from cyberattacks targeting city-owned and operated information systems. But even more worrisome, as cities shift to cloud-based IT solutions for everyday tools and integrate “smart” capabilities into IIJA-funded infrastructure systems, software supply chains are becoming increasingly complex. Critical information systems used by cities often depend on integrations with third-party components and services whose risks are poorly understood.

Faster, Safer, Smarter, Fairer: Evaluating key tech for transportation projects
With more than $60m in annual funding under the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law, the Federal Highway Administration’s Advanced Transportation Technology and Innovation (ATTAIN) program is taking on the challenge of delivering safer and more efficient transportation to areas of persistent poverty—not only on highways but transit systems, too. This session will explore how cities can take advantage of ATTAIN funding for congestion pricing systems, mobility-on-demand solutions, and transportation service payment systems integrations to advance their shared mobility goals. We’ll take a deep dive into California Department of Transportation’s FY2022 ATTAIN award, which will expand the Southern California Mobility Wallet project, which offers seamless payment for highway and transit services for Los Angeles County residents. Questions to be answered include: How does “open-loop” payments technology work, and what are the benefits? How can cities work with state DOTs to partner and develop competitive proposals for ATTAIN? How can cities navigate the FHWA application and review process, and how is it different from more familiar agency processes such as the FTA? Speakers Include: Gillian Gillett, Chief, Data and Digital Services Division and Program Manager, California Integrated Mobility, California Department of Transportation Hunter Owens, Research Data Manager, Data and Digital Services, California Department of […]
