Q+A

  • 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?
