Smart City technological applications have been employed in several cities worldwide to help improve functionality of transportation infrastructure. The information collected through the distribution of sensors inform applications that optimize city life. The Steering Committee for this project, led by the Buffalo Niagara Medical Campus (BNMC), envisions the utilization of Smart City technology along Main Street between Goodell Street and Ferry Street. This study is divided into three tasks; the first section is an evaluation of existing conditions of the corridor, the second draws from case studies across the globe to inform a best practice report, and the last is a recommendation of Smart City implementation. The Steering Committee can influence the City of Buffalo’s Smart City efforts to promote the Main Street corridor as a Smart City and innovation corridor. It is advised that the Steering Committee advocates for a Smart City corridor in the short term, during the development of the City of Buffalo’s RFP process for lighting vendors and the redevelopment of the Main Street corridor. The long-term objective of the project is to pilot various Smart City applications within the corridor which will improve transportation and have the ability to be adapted citywide.
