AppyWay gave a presentation led by Matt Terry and followed by David Wilson
They are a Kerbside [curbside] Management company that digitizes curbside assets and provides digital tools for managing these assets
AppyWay provides
- ANPR enabled enforcement of parking bays
- Curbside restriction restriction map via API
- Combined w/ active parking session and permit data
- Increased efficiency of enforcement process
- Automated process for data sharing
Presented a use case where they have deployed in Lambeth, London
Lambeth made climate initiative commitments back in 2019 that aimed to allocate 25% of curbside uses towards sustainable uses. In 2022 only 6% of these curbsides were used for sustainable activities.
Uses include:
- Cycle lanes
- Pedestrian Crossings
- Bus Lanes & bus stops
- EV Bay
- Shared scooter / Bike Bay
- Taxi Bay
- And more
Appyway based in UK and looking to expand
Been around for 10 years and 23 City Customers w/ over 29k Curbside digitized and managed
AppyWay works with Motability Operations, the largest mobility disabled company in the region.
Using their real-time data AppyWay provides drivers a digital twin of the curb and where blue badge (handicap) accessible spaces are available.

Portland Bureau of Transportation (PBOT) & INRIX presented on Zero Emission Delivery Zones
The goal of the project is to pilot a regulated ZEDZ
PBOT is using data and technology to better understand how people and different types of vehicles use commercial loading zones and city streets.
PBOT also aims to Increase micro-delivery hub operations and expand use of e-cargo bikes as “last-mile” delivery solution
Technical approach - PBOT & INRIX are leveraging OMF standards to create
- Full citywide map of CDS policies
- 4000 miles of curbs mapped out in Portland
- MDSaaS & CDSaaS - Make compliance w/ specifications easier for operators and cities; provide value + benefits
- INRIX takes Raw GPS data from existing IoT and convert these to MDS/CDS compliance
- Data gathered from these devices are pushed back to these devices through the data spec to provide predictions of roadway condition data
- Expansion Planning - Leveraging data platforms for future zero emissions delivery zones

Em Gave a presentation demonstrating how OMF / CDS is being used as part of the collaborative
Curb Collaborative Timeline

  - Phase 2 Project implementation
Challenges & Opportunities
- Timeline
  - Challenge- Hiring, aligning all project needs in time for phase 2
  - Opportunity - Out of the box approaches
- Contracting & procurement barriers
  - Challenge - Collaborative procurement is new and extra approval time required
  - Opportunity -Space & precedent for future collaborative procurement
- Partnerships
  - Challenge - Work w/ freight and delivery companies in using CDS

Seattle
- Onboarded a consultant that has helped with a strategic outreach plan
- Baseline data collection effort underway (39 Block faces) this data will help inform a later stage 2
- Seattle aims for early summer to start implementation of tech in the ground
SFMTA
- They are currently in the stage of procurement and cannot speak much further on the matter.
USDOT
- Eric Raamot - a Liason for Collaborative and USDOT offered services and assistance.

Dan Patterson - is there any Delineation between policy and the curb space? How can people collect policy information quickly and any innovative approaches outside the usual methods? (i.e. curb wheel, camera technology, etc.)
- No one collection method will be able to collect the data efficiently and perfectly, and so the solution is a suite of these collection methods.
Do any Cities that have technology requirements from any cities?
- Comments made stating that it would be ideal to have those built into contracts
ITE has specific guidance for parking data around parking turnover, etc.
- Folks in the Industry to standardize these data collection processes
- Has OMF interfaced with anyone about these?
