The 1.1.0 release adds new top level APIs, privacy options, and transparency features to the Mobility Data Specification (MDS) as part of an effort to support requested use cases and take new steps in data privacy.
No matter how cities use MDS, there are concrete steps they can take to ensure that citizen privacy and data security are protected.
Building on the best practices and policies of cities using MDS, the Privacy Guide for Cities offers a starting point to develop appropriate standards, make policy decisions, and implement new mobility programs with data privacy and security well-protected.
We’ve put together a dynamic database of MDS use cases using Airtable to illustrate the specific ways in which cities are using MDS to create policy, enforce rules, and ensure the safe operation of vehicles in the public right of way.
While the work that we do is often technical, it’s informed by principles that our community shares. At OMF, it’s not just about what we do – it’s about how we do it.
