We are excited to share that we are a semi-finalist in #TMFSustainableCities Detroit Challenge: Transforming Freight. The Challenge is looking to transform freight operations in the Detroit’s Eastern Market by reducing fossil fuel emissions and cutting freight costs. We can’t wait to expand on our solutions to hopefully transform freight operations in the Eastern Market. Follow Toyota Mobility Foundation, Challenge Works, Office of Mobility Innovation at The City of Detroit, and World Resources Institute?for the latest updates on the Challenge.

?? That's a wrap! Another great week of collaboration and sharing in Los Angeles for the #OMFSummit and CoMotion LA '24 conference. It's inspiring to see the progress being made in cities across the country to tackle pressing urban transportation and mobility challenges. Let's continue to push the status quo and make lasting improvements in safety, and congestions and emissions reductions! Open Mobility Foundation

In addition to our WalkShop next week at the #OMFSummit, Kelly Ferguson will be facilitating and presenting alongside Erin Clark from Cityfi, Wren A. Ruiz from Urban Health Partnerships and Em Burnett from Open Mobility Foundation in a workshop called Building Community Support: The Key to Urban Innovation. Join us Tuesday, November 12th, 1:05 - 2:35 pm as we dig into the outreach strategies to introduce new technology or reimagine public spaces, this workshop will equip participants with the tools to build support, foster partnerships, and navigate challenges to drive meaningful urban change. ?? OMF Summit: November 12, 2024 ?? CoMotion LA: November 13-14, 2024 ??? Join us!: https://lnkd.in/gtZ_Ht-4

Catch the Automotus team next week in Los Angeles for the #OMFSummit and #CoMotionLA. You can learn more about our work with LADOT's Zero Emissions Delivery Zone during the November 12th WalkShop with Jordan Justus and Matt Brooker and check out the newest zone in Little Tokyo! ??

?? Last week, the Automotus team alongside the City of Pittsburgh, Department of Mobility and Infrastructure and Pittsburgh Parking Authority were honored by the Global Partnership for Local Investment, an initiative of the World Economic Forum in collaboration with UN-Habitat, as recipients of the 2024 Public-Private Collaboration Award at the WEF Urban Transformation Summit in San Francisco. This recognition celebrates our shared vision for creating safer, more sustainable city streets through innovative curb management. The collaboration with the City of Pittsburgh has enabled Automotus to implement cutting-edge solutions that drastically reduce safety hazards, congestion, and emissions —helping cities become healthier and more accessible for all. ?? A huge thank you to our partners and the Pittsburgh community for making this achievement possible. Together, we're driving impactful change for cities worldwide. #SustainableCities #UrbanInnovation #PublicPrivatePartnerships #Automotus #UTS Rylan Seifert Kim Lucas, CPM Angie Martinez David Onorato, CAPP Matthew Jendrzejewski

We continue to build on our learnings with City of Pittsburgh, Department of Mobility and Infrastructure and the Pittsburgh Parking Authority through the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) VTO project led by our non-profit partners at the Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI). It is inspiring to be part of such a dynamic group that includes public agencies, local BIDs, academia, and national labs as we break new ground in curb management . ??

Excited to be attending the International Association of Chiefs of Police (IACP) 2024 Conference in Boston, MA! Looking forward to connecting with law enforcement leaders and innovators, learning about the latest strategies, and discussing the future of public safety. Connect at the event or reach out to Matt Brooker and Roamy Valera to learn more. #IACP2024 #LawEnforcement #PublicSafety #Leadership #Boston2024 #RoadwaySafety

?? Grateful for an insightful day with the Pittsburgh VTO Curb Management Project Team!While it's late on a Friday, I wanted to express my sincere gratitude to the Pittsburgh Smart Loading Zone Curb Management Project Team who made yesterday’s visit from the DOE, walking tour and discussions a phenomenal gathering and fantastic trip to the east coast! ???? The team's ongoing contributions over the last few years to make Automated enforcement of Smart Loading Zones in Pittsburgh a success and are key to paving the way for additional climate transportation goals and future opportunities for Pittsburgh and other cities. It was fantastic to explore downtown Pittsburgh’s pilot locations with the group, including bike lane and red curb enforcement, and engage and exchange with project partners IRL. ?? Some of the Key Takeaways and insight that are exciting to share : - Pittsburgh has seen a 95% reduction in double parking - Majority of zone usage is by light-duty cars, < than 15% from delivery/freight vehicles. - Pittsburgh’s blueprint bring together curb management and balanced engagement with businesses to create zone to support their needs. - Reallocating technology for new city curb demands is supported and informed by data collected through ALPR that would otherwise be hard to acquire. - Model transferability to other cities is possible if they can collect similar baseline data sets. A special thanks to our Technology and Project Officers who initiated this visit , and encouraged us over the last 2 years to get here! I'm excited to see how we close out strong in 2025 ?? Thanks again to everyone involved. Looking forward to what’s ahead! ?? #SustainableCities #CurbManagement #Innovation #TransportationTech #SmartCities #DOE #VTO Automotus, City of Pittsburgh, Department of Mobility and Infrastructure, Carnegie Mellon University, Pittsburgh Downtown Partnership, Lawrenceville Corporation, Oakland Business Improvement District, Pittsburgh Parking Authority, Los Angeles Cleantech Incubator (LACI)

"We’re a host community to the busiest bridge in the world... We have a traffic problem and we have parking challenges, but steps like this will hopefully relieve that burden,"?Mayor Mark Sokolich. ?? Congratulations to Fort Lee Parking Authority for being the first community in NJ to launch Smart Loading Zones! Automated paid loading zones have been shown to massively reduce double parking hazards and increase turnover and traffic speeds. We’re thrilled to partner with Hernani Goncalves and Evelyn Lassalle -Ayala at the Fort Lee Parking Authority to bring this program to life. #SmartLoadingZones #curbmanagement

Many cities may feel like they don’t have the policies in place to support automating enforcement for tickets in the mail. But there are more ways automation can enhance your operations such as directed enforcement and automated invoicing. With directed enforcement, your current staff can be more efficient, focusing their efforts where they’re needed most. Receiving real-time notifications of violations, cities like Bethlehem, PA and Miami, FL are increasing turnover and reduce double parking. Automation can support streamlining operations and making cities safer and more efficient for everyone. Ready to learn more?
