Recap

Notes

Meeting started by a brief statement by Michael Schnuerle, OMF’s Director of Open Source Operations, encouraging attendees to nominate themselves or someone else in their organization for the new Working Group Steering Committee board. Nominations are open till January 13th. Andrew Glass Hastings, OMF’s Executive Director followed up with a brief statement encouraging nominations and providing a brief assessment of the coming year as it relates to OMF and CDS describing it as exciting and productive.

Jacob Larson, CDS Chair, and City of Omaha representative, provided a brief overview of CDS, its membership, the work that has been done, and the work it is anticipated ahead of us. CDS is an open-source effort with memberships from both the private sector and the public sector who are working collaboratively towards the same goal. He provided a brief description that has been completed and the issuance of V 1.0 of CDS and how members can use. There are currently 12 agencies and 31 private sector organizations that are using CDS. Jacob continued to provide an overview of the available resources and presented the progress of the CDS implementation in a timeline. Jacob shifted his presentation to the effort that the City of Omaha is undertaking implementing CDS and showed examples of the work related to areas, zones, and parking spaces etc. He focused his discussion on the decisions that potentially each agency would have to make related to how a zone should be identified and delineated. A conversation with other members ensued where some of it was focused on the fact that the City of Omaha chose to implement CDS to all types of curb zones and not only to Commercial zones.

Michael Schnuerle, OMF’s Director of Open Source Operations, guided the attendees to participate in the following poll: ”Where are you in CDS implementation?” the results were as follows:

  • Started with an idea or dream 27%
  • Getting started with my team 73%
  • Getting started with a vendor 27%
  • Secured project funding 13%
  • Secured project approvals 13%
  • Began defining curb zones 33%
  • Curb zones complete 13%
  • Collecting event data 27%

A discussion followed when the following question was posed to participants: “What would you like/need to help you implement CDS based on where you are now? The conversation focused on whether the private sector is ready/able to entertain some agencies’ need to implement CDS beyond just curb space inventory and/or commercial activity at the curb, but also to include rea-time occupancy/availability that can be published to the end users.

Michael Schnuerle, OMF’s Director of Open Source Operations, continued to discuss how CDS is evolving and briefly discussed how CDS and OMF supported agencies in their UD DOT SMART grant applications. He then ended the meeting by presenting suggestions for the membership to consider expanding CDS scope to include:

  1. Connections to MDS
  2. Curb adjacent element
  3. EV Charging

Asked that feedback on these 3 items be provided for future discussion.
