MDS Use Cases

The OMF's Mobility Data Specification (MDS) reduces the amount of city staff that are needed to create policy, enforce rules, manage hundreds of devices, audit data, and ensure the safe operations of vehicles in the public right of way. It saves time for providers by aligning their data services to a single standard across jurisdictions.

Collected here is a database of city use cases for MDS. These were gathered initially from OMF member cities and providers, and we welcome your feedback.

Use Case Database

A list of use cases is useful to show what's possible with MDS, to list what other cities are accomplishing with the data, to allow us to create deep links to filtered views, to see many use cases up front for privacy considerations, and to use for policy discussions and policy language.

We are using Airtable to collect, publish, and filter these use cases.

Here are multiple views of the MDS use cases for cities, and for each mode.
