Introduction (Jacob Larson, Omaha)

  • Jacob kicked things off with an overview of CDS and summarized its goals and objectives.
  • Links to various CDS resources were provided, and attendees were given an update of upcoming meetings and topics.

Google/Pebble Presentation on Smart Zone Curb Management (Doneliza Joaquin)

  • Detailed the Smart Loading Zone pilots occurring in four cities, including Aspen

  • The Smart Zones are reserved through the Pebble Smart Zone app, there is a separate app for enforcement, and the city has access to a dashboard

  • Goals of Smart Zone program

    • Improve curb access for delivery and service vehicle drivers
    • Support brick and mortar business success in e-commerce
    • Improve coordination, safety and compliance
    • Promote downtown vitality

  • Allows drivers to find and route to safe and legal spaces

  • The system is pay per minute

  • Having access to these tools allows cities to dynamically manage and price curb space

  • CDS plays an important role in how their system is built

  • Deep dive on Aspen, CO Smart Zone pilot

    • Expanded to 14 zones in the spring of 2021
    • 8,100 Smart Zone sessions have occurred
    • 46 fleets have participated
    • Data collection has been valuable to improving the program, city has added zones where there is higher morning activity
    • 4 key elements to making a program successful
      • Strong partners with city and enforcement
      • Charging authority – need to charge for loading
      • Access to popular loading zones
      • Outreach

  • Questions

    • Michael Schnuerle (MS) – Is most of the heavy lifting being done using the app, is the app required to use curb space?

      • DJ- Must use app or third party can book for you

      • Can book right there and then

      • Can book on their way to the space (within ½ mile) will hold the zone, you will have 5 to 10 minutes

        • The app will show that the zone is not available - no one else can use

      • MS – CDS supports this type of system, CDS’s framework works well

    • Henry Espinosa (HE) - When reserving the space, how do you do it? What prevents someone from using the space?

      • DJ – App shows availability but no physical deterrent, only signage saying to use app. City enforcement staff is required to ensure compliance

    • Brian Hamlin (BH) - Are there plans to integrate Google’s routing and booking software into delivery companies' software/ecosystem?

      • Willa Ng (WN) - more of a question of proving something is there, so much investment is necessary to adopt. Would love to do integration but someone is needed on the other end to catch the football
