The Automated Curbside Management System Amendment Act of 2025 aims to improve the management of curbside space in the District of Columbia by establishing an Automated Curbside Management System through the District Department of Transportation (DDOT). This system will utilize technology such as cameras and sensors to gather real-time information on curbside usage and implement an automated payment system for drivers. The bill mandates the creation of a Smart Loading Zones Program, which will include regulations on locations, enrollment processes, fee schedules, and notification procedures for violations. Additionally, the bill allows for dynamic pricing based on demand and prioritizes vendors whose technology can offer enhanced functionalities like automated enforcement of moving violations.

The legislation also repeals the Commercial Curbside Loading Zone Implementation Act of 2009, streamlining the regulatory framework for curbside management. By automating the billing and enforcement processes, the bill seeks to reduce traffic congestion, improve access for delivery services, and enhance the overall efficiency of curbside space utilization in the District. The implementation of this system is expected to alleviate the challenges posed by illegal parking in loading zones and improve the experience for residents, businesses, and delivery drivers alike.
