Curb management for fast-changing cities

Seattle Department of Transportation’s Curbside Management team began working with Coord in 2019 to improve our curb digitization effort. They helped us identify detailed opportunities to improve how SDOT records curb assets so that our data can be more accurately digitized for external users. Coord maps were invaluable for rapid assessment of temporary loading with the COVID-19 pandemic to provide Seattle restaurants with appropriate food pick-up areas. Coord staff’s excitement and willingness to solve curbspace data management problems is inspiring. 

"Nashville partnered with Coord to pilot Smart Zones to increase compliance with loading regulations, improve traffic flow and safety, collect quality data, and ultimately capture the true cost of Metro-provided services and the value of public space. The Coord team has worked hand in hand with us every step of the way - from developing our fee ordinance to designing program details and doing outreach.  Even in these challenging times, we're ready to launch on schedule and can't wait to see Smart Zones in Nashville."

"Since the City of Pittsburgh began using Coord to map curb assets and regulations, we've gained vast insights on how the curb is used, and how we might adapt it to better suit the needs of our city's changing mobility environment. From designating space for passenger loading zones, to identifying optimal spaces for bicycle infrastructure, the curb data collected and displayed via Coord will be immensely constructive. Thankfully, the experience has been easier to navigate than expected. Coord's customer service has been second to none, with easy-to-reach experts willing to help at every stage of the process"

“We were very excited when Aspen was chosen to participate in Coord’s first Digital Curb Challenge in 2020. We went live in November of 2020, and I am even more excited now that we are in full swing with the pilot. Working with Coord has been fantastic. Not only are they easy to work with, but the amount of knowledge we have learned from each other has far exceeded my expectations. The data we have collected has been enlightening. A few of the data points are what we expected, but a lot of data is different than what we anticipated.

I can see Aspen making a variety of changes based on the data we’ve collected during this pilot, which will make our loading zones work more efficiently and provide a safer environment for Aspen. I look forward to what the future will look like in managing our curb space in Aspen.”

“West Palm Beach is committed to using data and technology to make our streets safer and improve the quality of life for residents and visitors in our city. Deploying Smart Zones is the key step to ensure flexible curb usage while promoting the City's mobility goals. The Coord team went above and beyond, working closely with my team and Related Companies to bring a thoughtful, innovative new program to our community."

"The City of Boulder is very happy to be working with the Coord team. Coord provides expertise and guidance in developing a curbside management inventory and strategy, and their customer service is stellar. Coord was able to integrate our existing datasets, and worked with our team to onboard and use the platform to work toward our goals. The toolkit Coord provides is dynamic and combines a variety of information, which we are using comprehensively in multiple work efforts."

"From deliveries to scooters, there is intense competition for curb space in Downtown Santa Monica. Having a complete picture of how, where and when our curbs are used helps us to adapt and designate the necessary space for our ever-changing environment while meeting the needs of our businesses and patrons."

"At the City of Omaha's Parking and Mobility Division we aim to provide a positive experience for downtown visitors by actively managing our curb space. The Digital Curb Challenge was a great framework for developing best practices in collaboration with the other pilot cities and Coord. We are proud to have been the first Smart Zone city and have extended our partnership so we can continue gaining new insights and collecting data to inform our work."
