Curb space is the Wild West of neighborhood transportation.

Waiting for car manufacturers and ride-hail operators to decide the future of urban AV deployment will not create the cities that urban planners hope for, and often work very hard to make happen. While significant penetration of AVs — private or shared — is likely a decade or two away, deferring directional, optimization, and livability strategies will rob cities of flexibility, influence, and degrees of freedom within a decade.

An innovative pilot project is under way in Washington, D.C., which is pursuing radical steps to rethink the use of on-street curb spaces in an era of transformative transportation technology.

Everyone vies for curb space: taxis, Ubers, delivery trucks, buses, bicycles, and residents. In Washington, DC, CurbFlow is testing spots reserved via app.

The 12-week study comes as the District and other cities seek more efficient ways to use curb space — their hottest real estate — amid an explosion in ride-hailing trips, online shopping and on-demand food deliveries.

The company’s Maps feature allows drivers to see available parking spaces and helps cities to better manage and monetise their kerbsides.

Cities must manage all the competing uses for limited roadside space to avoid congestion and maximise efficiency. And that begins with reliable data.

A year ago, Uber and the City of Cincinnati announced the Cincinnati Mobility Lab, a multi-year partnership that seeks to develop…

Curb space in city centers is a scarce resource. And as demand for this space increases — with the rise of urban deliveries, shared…
