CURB DATA SPECIFICATION

​

​

​

​

​

CDS helps cities and companies pilot and scale dynamic curb zones that optimize commercial loading activities of people and goods, and measure the impact of these programs to advance policy goals.

​

The Curb Working Group Steering Committee is leading development of CDS with the help of you in the Working Group.

​

CDS 1.0 is in use by dozens of entities around the world, and we look forward to requested improvements from the community for the next CDS release.
