With city streets rapidly evolving, local governments are looking for ways to optimize curb management and reduce congestion. For us at Mastercard the future of urban mobility is one where riders can get from A to B seamlessly, no matter what form of transit they choose.

Our Road Usage lead Elizabeth Weiland and AppyWay Founder & CEO Dan Hubert dive into why cities should be leveraging the digital curb, and how the platform was put to use in New York City earlier this year. 🚗 🌆 👇 #urbanmobility #GovTech
