Following the success of our inaugural class, the Open Mobility Foundation (OMF) is thrilled to announce the new members of the 2026 Smart Curb Collaborative. This new class brings together a diverse group of cities and public agencies from around the world who are dedicated to transforming curb management.
This next cohort includes fourteen cities and one county: it’s a larger and more diverse class than the first, including cities from Europe and Canada:
| Alexandria | Arlington County | Boston | Bergen | Dublin |
| Minneapolis | Montréal | Omaha | Pasadena | Portland |
| San Francisco | San Jose, CA | Seattle | Tacoma | Washington, DC |
Building on Proven Success
Our first cohort of ten cities laid the groundwork by piloting the Curb Data Specification (CDS). Their real-world testing directly informed the release of CDS 1.1, introducing vital features like real-time event tracking and digital curb inventory models.
This next cohort of fifteen members will feature:
⚙️ Continued development of the Curb Data Specification (CDS);
🚀 Support for the implementation and expanded adoption of CDS;
📚 Webinars and workshops on key curb digitization topics; and
💬 Peer learning and exchange.
The OMF is thrilled to bring the 2026 Collaborative to Montréal in June for an in-person convening. We’ll share more updates on the Collaborative, CDS, and more on our blog and through our events.
