Curb Coordination

How can we reduce traffic by improving coordination at the curb?

Record traffic in New York City costs $20 billion annually in lost productivity and excess costs.

In 2020, the Transit Tech Lab sought solutions to coordinating traffic at the curb among passenger cars, for-hire vehicles, public buses, commercial trucks, commuter vans, tour buses, bicycles and pedestrians.
