Project Summary
San Francisco’s SMART grant project will create a citywide map of detailed curb regulations for every location in the city, implement internal systems and processes to keep those regulations up-to-date, and make the information available via analytical tools/maps and an open data feed in the CDS Curbs API standard.

“The Digital Curb Program is advancing our efforts to modernize the management of curbside parking and loading spaces—one of our most limited and valuable resources. By leveraging enhanced digital tools, our team will be equipped to make more informed, data-driven decisions regarding curb management. This will enable drivers to more easily locate available spaces, helping them avoid citations and enhancing their overall parking experience. Additionally, the program will facilitate smoother passenger drop-offs and improve navigation throughout San Francisco. We anticipate that these advancements will reduce unnecessary driving, alleviate congestion, and promote safer streets for pedestrians and cyclists, while also improving access to local businesses.”
