Mobility

As communities across the country work to deliver improved and integrated transportation systems, pedestrian infrastructure remains a challenge to develop at a level which allows the overall transportation network to operate optimally. For public transportation, areas with higher densities and interconnected pedestrian facilities provide a network to allow people to move around more easily without relying on a vehicle. These robust pedestrian facilities not only allow promote more use of non-vehicle modes of mobility, but make the entire transportation system safer and more efficient thereby reducing conflicts between vehicles and pedestrians. For those of us who drive, walk, bicycle or use scooters, we know first-hand the different perspective you have when peering out the car windshield compared to walking or biking near and around vehicular traffic. Well-designed pedestrian facilities reinforce that walking and biking are viable options that can get you where you want to go with the hassle of dealing with driving, congestion and parking. Unfortunately, pedestrian facilities still lag behind in many communities where lack of priority and funding hampers their development. Since there can be various governmental jurisdictions involved with streets and right-of-way, it’s imperative for localities to have a structure in place to ensure pedestrian facilities can be planned and executed in a coordinated manner.  By championing best practices involving a multi-modal complete streets design approach, progress can be made to greatly enhance a community’s overall transportation system.

If the past several years revealed anything about urban mobility, it’s that the curb has quietly become one of the most politically charged, economically valuable, and publicly visible pieces of city infrastructure. Leaders from Austin, Los Angeles, and Washington, D.C. participated in IPMI’s Building Blocks webinar, where they shared how curb space has transformed from simple parking real estate into a multi-use frontline for transportation, commerce, and public life in their cities. In the not-so-distant past, the curb was a brief pause. A moment between where we were and where we were going. We parallel parked the car, checked for signs, maybe paid a meter, then went on to our destination. Much has changed. The once quiet edge of the street is now a full-blown stage for rideshare zones, sidewalk cafes, e-commerce deliveries, bike lanes, EV charging, micromobility, and bus priority projects. As Ken Hustings noted, curb space has become so valuable that a meter rate increase in Los Angeles was not only acceptable; it helped the city preserve staff positions during a fiscal crisis. The public’s relationship with the curb shifted in a very real way during the pandemic. As downtowns emptied and front doors became loading docks, people noticed just how much work the curb was doing behind the scenes. Take-out, package deliveries, and temporary restaurant patios all depended on it, and when it wasn’t managed well, the impacts were hard to ignore. David Lipscomb, Washington, D.C.’s curbside manager, recalled that this moment was eye-opening for residents. A minor inconvenience had quickly become a safety and access issue as delivery vehicles stacked up, cafe tables spilled onto sidewalks, and curb space was pushed to its limits. The public began paying attention to what mobility professionals had long understood: unmanaged curb space creates chaos. Awareness is just the first step. Turning that awareness into better outcomes requires updated policies and a different kind of leadership. Today’s parking and mobility professionals aren’t just managing assets; they’re also storytellers, educators, and coalition builders. Joseph Al-Hajeri, Austin’s Park Enterprise Manager, described his role as “getting the public to nerd out” about curb management using data, pilots, and transparent communication so that complex policy becomes shared understanding. In today’s rapidly evolving mobility landscape, the curb has become the new City Hall: a high-stakes, high-visibility arena where decisions play out block by block. And those who manage the curb are emerging as some of the most influential communicators shaping urban policy and public understanding.

Is the curb for parking, deliveries, valet, ride-share, taxis, horse and buggy, or buses?   If I had been asked this question over 20 years ago, I would have said it was for parking and generating revenue to help pay for infrastructure improvements to drive economic growth. But today, the answer is all above! Our industry has changed so much over the decades due to many different needs. But what I do know is that the curb is at capacity! So, the big question becomes, how do we manage it? Today’s technology plays a major role in helping us manage the curb.   I remember what a big deal it was to put solar pay stations on the street that allowed me to remove 12- 14 single space mechanical meters.  But looking at the technology today, you can place a sign with a QR code and that will lead the customer to platform to pay for parking by using the phone.   You do not really need anything else!  Nashville has been spending the past year working on a technology platform that manages the curb - all uses of the curb! This program is called Connect Downtown.  From the study, we set goals for a safe and comfortable downtown, one that’s connected and convenient, focuses on equitable and accessible, meets sustainable and resilient needs, is vibrant and inviting but balanced and reliable.   Wow, that is a lot to deliver to the community.  We are accomplishing this with five (5) big moves.   The first big move is managing congestion.   We are upgrading our signals to real time to manage special events, people and safety of all modes.  The next one is improved safety.  Being a vision zero county, we are making our roadway network safer for people.  Move three (3) is prioritizing our transit for better service and reliability throughout the region.  Building complete street networks with connected walking paths, bikeways, and micro mobility options for first and last miles is the fourth big move.  And the last big move, maximizing the curb by flexing the use based on needs, creating passenger loading or service unloading zones for deliveries, rideshares, taxis and AVs. Do not forget to include local businesses’ needs, venues and their modes of transporting people.  But mostly, make sure you address everything for your residents.  They are the foundation of everything that’s planned.   In the last year, we have added over one hundred and forty-five (145) bike and scooter corrals.  We’ve piloted a transit lane designed for special events that’s allowed for improving the time of exiting from the downtown Hub by over 50%.   We’ve established additional unloading zones that are flexed at 4 PM to 4 AM for ridesharing, taxi, etc and did a ridezone pilot that improved the traffic flow.  We’ve also organized the parking system for the curb, so that we have technology providing turns for businesses.  And now we are working closely with the community on the technology platform for managing the curb, similar to parking.  Technology is allowing us to advance and optimize how the city manages the curb, and we’re transforming how our downtown operates — making life easier for residents and business owners Diana W. Alarcon, PTMP, is the Director for Nashville Department of Transportation & Multimodal Infrastructure. Diana can be reached at diana.alarcon@nashville.gov.

The parking and mobility industry has never had a soundtrack—until now. Mobility Fever Dream, the debut concept album by Brooke Krieger, drops October 24, 2025, on all major streaming platforms. Created as a cultural time capsule, the album transforms the language, challenges, and humor of modern mobility into a fast-paced, satirical, and surprisingly human musical experience. Divided into four acts, Mobility Fever Dream explores everything from the relentless pace of conferences and RFP cycles to the tech-fueled evolution of AI, EV, and AV integration in our cities. The sound stretches across pop, hip-hop, country, and even K-pop—because the mobility space, like the album, refuses to fit neatly into one category. “This project started as a joke between colleagues about how wild our industry has become,” says Krieger. “But the more I thought about it, the more I realized: the mobility industry is art in motion. It deserves to be heard as much as it’s seen.” A Four-Act Journey Through the Industry’s Chaos With track titles like “Buyout Season,” “The Parking King (RIP Donald Shoup),” “Curbside Hero,” and “Free Parking? Babe, That’s So 2003,” the album blends wit and insight—offering a rhythm-driven reflection on automation, open-market innovation, and the culture of parking itself. Each act mirrors a stage of the industry’s evolution: Act I: The Fever Dream — The nonstop world of trade shows, funding rounds, and caffeine-fueled innovation. Act II: The Streets — Where policy, enforcement, and the human side of parking collide. Act III: The System Reloads — Technology, apps, and automation take center stage. Act IV: The Vision — A nod to the future we’re building—connected, autonomous, and a little bit chaotic. And as a bonus track, the album closes where it all began: “Artificial Intention”—a sultry nod to our industry’s collective fascination with artificial intelligence and automation. Satire, Sound, and the Soul of a Sector Released under Curb Culture Media, Mobility Fever Dream isn’t just an album—it’s a mirror. It celebrates the dreamers, engineers, planners, operators, and innovators who make cities more livable every day. “I wanted to create something that makes people in this space laugh, nod, and think, ‘Yep, that’s us,’” says Krieger. “Because behind every citation, every app, every RFP—there’s a story worth singing.” Mobility Fever Dream challenges how we talk about mobility, reminding us that the future isn’t just about infrastructure—it’s about imagination. Listen for Yourself Stream “Mobility Fever Dream” everywhere October 24, 2025.

This report was designed for both local drivers searching for parking every day and decision-makers worldwide exploring urban mobility solutions. Using data from more than 1,000 street sensors monitoring 8,000 on-street parking spaces in Tel Aviv, we analyzed hundreds of thousands of parking events to reveal clear patterns: when spots are most available, how long they stay open, how long searches take, how prices compare locally and globally, and much more. For Tel Aviv drivers, it is a practical guide with insights and tips to reduce time and frustration when searching for parking. For municipalities and industry professionals, it serves as a case study of what computer-vision-based infrastructure can deliver: realtime occupancy monitoring, demand analysis, and the potential to reduce congestion, save CO2 emissions, and create more efficient curb management.
