About
CurbIQ is a leading curbside management platform designed for cities, universities, and airports that need to take control of their roadway assets. It consolidates curb regulation and usage data from multiple sources — including parking and payment providers — into a single, standardized database using industry-standard formats like CDS, D-TRO, and CurbLR. The platform offers three core capabilities: digital curbside inventory for structured data collection and digitization; data visualization and modeling with intuitive map overlays that show when and where regulations are in effect, along with predictive tools to model the financial and policy impact of proposed regulation changes; and data sharing via standardized APIs that break down operational silos between cities, couriers, transportation network companies (TNCs), navigation platforms, and connected/autonomous vehicles (CAVs). CurbIQ helps public agencies balance curb access for pedestrians, parking, deliveries, rideshares, and vendors — all while aligning operations with financial, sustainability, and mobility goals. With 30+ deployed projects across 4+ countries, 10,500+ curb miles digitized, and 15+ integrations, CurbIQ is the #1 market leader in curbside management. It is purpose-built for transportation planners, smart city teams, airport operators, and university campus managers seeking data-driven curb policy.
Key Features
- Digital Curbside Inventory: Collects and centralizes curb regulation and usage data from multiple sources into a standardized database using CDS, D-TRO, and CurbLR formats.
- Data Visualization & Map Overlays: Intuitive map overlays display when and where curb regulations are in effect, showing supply, usage, and revenue data for informed decision-making.
- Regulation Modeling & Impact Analysis: Predicts the financial and regulatory impact of proposed curb policy changes, enabling agencies to implement regulations at scale with confidence.
- Data Sharing & API Integration: Standardized APIs powered by CDS enable seamless data sharing with third parties including couriers, TNCs, navigation platforms, and connected vehicles.
- Multi-Sector Integration: Integrates with 15+ parking and payment providers, supporting cities, universities, and airports with a unified, end-to-end curbside management solution.
Use Cases
- A city transportation department digitizes all curb regulations across its downtown core to create a real-time map of parking rules, loading zones, and restricted areas accessible to delivery fleets and navigation apps.
- An airport authority uses CurbIQ to manage and optimize curbside pickup and dropoff zones, balancing rideshare, taxi, and private vehicle access during peak travel periods.
- A university campus uses CurbIQ to monitor parking demand and model the financial impact of switching from permit-based to dynamic pricing for campus curb spaces.
- A municipal government shares standardized curb data via CurbIQ's API with autonomous vehicle operators and logistics companies to support safe and compliant last-mile delivery operations.
- A smart city team uses CurbIQ's data visualization tools to analyze curb utilization trends and build evidence-based policy proposals for the city council around freight loading and micro-mobility parking.
Pros
- Industry-Standard Data Formats: Uses CDS, D-TRO, and CurbLR standards ensuring interoperability with third-party systems, navigation platforms, and autonomous vehicle infrastructure.
- Proven at Scale: Deployed across 30+ projects in 4+ countries with over 10,500 curb miles digitized, demonstrating robust, real-world reliability for public agencies.
- Revenue & Policy Optimization: Financial modeling tools help agencies turn curb infrastructure from a cost center into a measurable revenue and sustainability asset.
- Broad Stakeholder Collaboration: Breaks down operational silos by enabling secure data sharing with internal teams, vendors, and external partners through standardized APIs.
Cons
- Enterprise-Focused Pricing: Designed for government agencies, universities, and airports — pricing and onboarding may not be accessible to smaller municipalities or individual researchers.
- Requires Data Infrastructure: Full value depends on integrating existing parking and payment data sources, which may require upfront technical effort or third-party coordination.
- Niche Use Case: Purpose-built exclusively for curbside and roadway asset management, limiting applicability outside transportation and smart city contexts.
