  • How are cities chosen?
    Deadlines & Criteria City must fill out applications and have them submitted by deadline City must have a desired commitment to measure, manage, & monetize commercial activity at the curb over course of the next year City must aim to utilize curb management solution to address safety and/or emissions reductions Executive sponsor (DOT Director, PW Director, Mayor's Office Staff, etc.) Ability to stand up a project within 6 months of being accepted
  • Why is Automotus providing this at no cost?
    As a leader in automated curb management, Automotus has developed first-of-its-kind computer vision technology that allows cities to automatically analyze, monetize, and enforce all forms of curbside activity without incurring the upfront cost of hardware. We see a valuable opportunity in working with both cities and operators to create a win-win public/private partnership that pays for itself through willing operators who are granted more accessible curbs at a fair rate in areas where their drivers need it most. We are providing our technology at no upfront cost as a direct response to the rapidly expanding number of stakeholders at the curb - freight, ride-hailing, and food delivery services. Automotus has partnership and transaction fee agreements that allow us to provide our technology and services to both cities and operators.
  • How much revenue could this generate?
    Depending on the number of designated loading zones, and based on historical data from existing vendors, we can provide a projection of revenue based on usage.
  • I run a business or oversee a fleet of vehicles (freight, food-delivery, moving trucks, etc.). How do I get involved in this program?"
    Let’s connect! Email partners@automotus.co to let us know what cities you operate in and what type of fleet or business you are.
  • I am a driver and do deliveries or service calls as part of my profession.  How do I get access to Smart Loading Zones in my city?
    If you work for a fleet or larger company, check with your management to find out whether your company is already partnering with your city on this program. If you work independently, email drivers@automotus.co. We will provide information for how to get access to Smart Zones in each city as program registration becomes available.
  • I work for a city and we are interested in learning more about implementing Smart Loading Zones. How do I get more information?
    You can request a meeting with a member of the Automotus team here.
