Thank you

The live event has ended. Recording now available to stream.

With the evolution of shared mobility, commercial docking, and pending connected and automated vehicle (CAV) demands competing with traditional parking at the curb, many cities have started to redefine their curbside management practices. This session will guide participants on how to assess their jurisdiction’s ability to manage this change, mapping a path forward towards a successful curbside management program. Attendees will also have the opportunity to use a tool to self-assess their jurisdiction’s parking / curbside management program.

Learning Objectives

Define a successful, sustainable curbside management program
Understand which elements of a street’s right-of-way should be considered when assessing a curbside management program
Summarize the toolbox and methods to achieve sustainable curb use
