Real-time curb data is becoming an increasingly talked about tool that cities can use to help design their streets. However, many are still asking foundational questions: What curb data is most valuable? Who needs access to it? And what barriers prevent cities from using it effectively?

‍

Join our moderator, Anne Brown (Director of Research, Urbanism Next) as we mark the release of Digital Curbs: Users, Opportunities, and Barriers to Ongoing Curb Management, a new report developed by Urbanism Next through the USDOT SMART Grants Program in partnership with the City of Boston, while gaining valuable insights from researchers Sam Brenner (Transportation Technology Strategist), Robert Binder (Senior Researcher, Urbanism Next), and Nico Larco (Director, Urbanism Next).
