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 using curbside space. 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 enhance enforcement capabilities.
The legislation also repeals the Commercial Curbside Loading Zone Implementation Act of 2009, streamlining the regulatory framework for curbside management. By automating the enforcement of curbside usage and providing a more efficient billing system, the bill seeks to alleviate traffic congestion, reduce illegal parking, and enhance the overall accessibility of curbside space for residents, businesses, and delivery services.
