Build a Digital Curb Inventory for Long-Term Success

Enable digitally communicating curb and parking regulations with connected fleets and other curb users by establishing an accurate curb inventory. Populus partners with cities to collect, analyze, and transform curb and parking data into standardized formats, such as the Curb Data Specification, ensuring that it remains up-to-date and accessible to all stakeholders.

KEY FEATURES

Translate and convert existing city data

Collect and digitize new parking and curb rules

Broadcast up-to-date rules with APIs

Trusted by cities to help them build the digital curb of the future

Collect, convert, and transform parking and curb regulations

Populus begins by collaborating with a city to assess existing data for viability and relevance. Once data has been initially compiled, the Populus team takes on the heavy lifting to translate data to conform to industry standards, such as the Curb Data Specification, and deliver that information in our intuitive visualization platform. This process empowers cities with a usable and intuitive inventory of their curb and parking regulations to answer questions such as: How many blocks have loading zones at 9am on a Tuesday in the Downtown District?

Manage and update regulations as curb use cases change over time

As the use cases for city streets and curbs have evolved with the introduction of emerging modes — from ridehailing to delivery, and from micromobility to autonomous vehicles — curbs are at the forefront of how a modern city seeks to manage transportation safety, efficiency, and sustainability. Populus provides cities with the tools and visibility needed to inform critical decisions to re-allocate curb space and refresh parking regulations for modern use cases.

Broadcast the latest regulations with the Curbs API

Populus provides technical leadership for cities to publish a Curbs API to key stakeholders such as delivery companies and autonomous vehicles. Cities can rely on Populus to provide ongoing hosting services and delivery of a Curbs API. Populus was the first platform to deliver such an API on behalf of the City of Seattle.
