Opperman says technology can go a long way in advancing sustainability, particularly for cities.  

He focuses on the technologies that state entities could explore to improve their public transportation systems, related to access control, video monitoring, and environmental solutions such as air quality monitoring systems.

Topics of discussion include: the use of technology tools to help municipalities and businesses make better decisions that improve quality of life; how communities can improve energy distribution, streamline trash collection, decrease traffic congestion, and improve air quality through the internet of things; and applications for public transport.
