For an easier to read summary, our blog post about the release describes the main high-level features accurately. 

MDS 1.2.0 adds features that improve accuracy and better support data privacy, adding digital program requirements, new options for policies, better GPS telemetry data, and more. Read our Version Guidance to know how and when to upgrade your MDS versions.

Thanks go to all the wonderful public and private member volunteers of our Working Group Steering Committee, the Strategy Committee, the Technology Council, the Privacy, Security, and Transparency Committee, and the Board of Directors. And we appreciate the work of the OMF community members, city employees, mobility providers, private software companies, supporters, and advisors for helping to make this happen.  It's truly an open, collaborative effort and it couldn't have happened without you.

The OMF community has been turning our attention to MDS 2.0 which focuses on adding new modes and digital policy improvements, and we welcome you to join in.

Thanks,

Michael Schnuerle

Director of Open Source Operations
