42 Section 5: Conclusion The history of curbside management assumes that the curb is fixed and unchanged space, and mostly the purview of local agencies. Traditionally, the use of the curb served private vehicles through the provision of short- and long-term curbside parking that was either free or underpriced. As innovative transportation technologies evolve and cities continue to grow, the efficient use of curb space is necessary. Implementation of dynamic curbside management is meant to adapt to existing and future transportation trends and to unlearn or rethink historic curbside management practices. As complex dynamic curbside management approaches emerge, the need for coordination, funding, and policy leadership has intensified across all levels of government. State DOTs and MPOs can help prepare cities to shift to dynamic curbside management through the provision of training, resources, and funding opportunities. By assisting with dynamic curbside management, state DOTs and MPOs may advance their broader transportation goals related to: ⢠Multimodal Mobility ⢠Livability ⢠Accessibility ⢠Safety ⢠Air Quality ⢠Congestion Management ⢠Travel Time Reliability ⢠Economic Vitality ⢠Equity This Guide provides recommendation of strategies, frameworks, and tools that state, regional, and local transportation agencies may use to develop and implement dynamic curbside management practices. Ensuring consistent transportation goals, supporting equity initiatives, actively engaging with community members, sustaining stable financial resources, maintaining cross-jurisdictional relationships, managing curb data and curb inventories, and anticipating how curb use may change with evolving technologies and future trends are important components of dynamic curbside management.
