Open Mobility Foundation invites cities to join new Curb Collaborative
POLIS member Open Mobility Foundation is launching their new Curb Collaborative in 2026, inviting cities and public sector partners to join a shared learning cohort for curb management innovation
The Open Mobility Foundation is now accepting interest from cities and public-sector partners from the US, Canada, and Europe to join their next Curb Collaborative in 2026. This initiative is an invaluable space for cities to share knowledge, ask questions among peers, and bring new approaches and tactics to their projects and communities. Indeed, thanks to the contributions of the first Collaborative, the OMF will soon be releasing their next version of Curb Data Specification (CDS), shaped largely by the real-world implementation experience of the SMART Curb Collaborative cities. Building on this momentum, they are now bringing together additional cities looking to continue their curb digitisation and curb management journey.
What to expect
Participation in the Collaborative gives access to a group of cities that are all continuing or beginning curb digitisation projects using CDS. OMF's model prioritises building relationships with members of a diverse group of cities, giving the opportunity to build trust, share candidly, and problem-solve together.
In addition to regular virtual meetings, a key activity for the next Collaborative is an in-person convening, where members will have a hands-on opportunity to see how another city is implementing their curb program. In addition to a walking tour, these convenings also include ample opportunities to build relationships and learn from each other as well as from experts.
How to apply
To join the next cohort of the OMF Smart Curb Collaborative, fill out this short interest form by 31 October. If you have questions, please contact leo@openmobilityfoundation.org.
You can learn more about the program and what to expect by reading the program description.
The Curb Collaborative will work closely with OMF partners at the National Association of City Transportation Officials (NACTO) and POLIS.
