Curb Space Management – Local Lessons
Join SCAG on April 7 for the “Curb Space Management – Local Lessons” Toolbox Tuesday session.
With a general rise in vehicle ownership, disruptive technologies (e.g., transportation network companies and dockless electric scooters), and a COVID-19-era shift in sidewalk activities, including reliance on delivery services, curb space has become one of the most constrained resources in cities. Cities have faced challenges with on- and off-street parking, congestion, and first/last mile connections as demand for curb space grows.
SCAG has been studying curb space challenges from a regional perspective since the “Last-Mile Freight Delivery Study,” published in 2020. This session will examine what SCAG, local agencies, and private sector stakeholders have learned through the “Curb Space Management Study” (2022), “Curb Space Data Inventory Study” (2024), and “Zero-Emissions and Smart Delivery Zones Study” (2025), which produced data-driven curb management strategies, practical policy guidance, and technology-based solutions tailored to diverse local contexts. These studies advance collaborative pilot concepts and implementation plans for participating cities, which can serve as useful case studies for other communities seeking solutions to their curb space issues.
