Digitizing the Last Mile: How SMART Grant Winners Are Modernizing Urban Freight Management

The first of two Technology + Innovation Center webinars highlighting technology and innovation awards made through US DOT’s 2022 SMART Grants Program, this webinar will explore the solutions for urban freight management in U.S. cities. The pandemic dramatically accelerated the growth of goods moving on city streets as people shifted to online shopping. These freight flows, focused on rapid delivery within residential areas, are different from anything cities have encountered before. And they have created enormous challenges for cities’ efforts to improve safety, manage congestion, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Coding the Curb: Winning Solutions from the 2022 SMART Grant Program

Curbs are one of the most important, yet undervalued asset in the urban public realm. As cities confront new patterns of activity, new demands on the public right of way, and fiscal and environmental challenges, curbs are a critical platform for driving change. The second of two Technology + Innovation Center webinars highlighting awards from the 2022 Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) Grants Program, this webinar looks at how cities are deploying a variety of approaches to developing curb data platforms. Questions to be answered include: What are the short- and long-term goals of curb coding efforts? What data do cities plan to collect? How will it be used, what value is created, and how will it be managed? What core technologies and data standards are available and what must be developed? How will cities incentivize various stakeholders to participate? Who does what? How are cities enlisting vendors and other partners to design, deploy and operate these solutions?
