MDS Modes Month in September

[Michael Schnuerle]

Hello Interested MDS Users,

At this week's MDS working group meeting, we will be kicking off "Modes Month", and part of the discussion will be around delivery robot use cases and data needs.

To prepare for this meeting, we'd love it if you could spend some time today and leave comments about use cases and data needs based on your delivery robot experience in cities from your organization's perspective:

More Modes Work: Modes Month

This September the MDS Working Group Steering Committee has decided to focus on the new modes work we've started during development of MDS 2.0. The next four Working Group meetings will focus on some aspect of new modes (passenger services, delivery robots, carshare):

• Aug 18 - Modes Month kickoff and Delivery Robots use cases
• Sep 1 - Passenger Services proposal review
• Sep 15 - Delivery mode deep dive
• Sep 29 - Carshare kickoff

We are calling this spint of work MDS Modes Month. Please set aside the dates above to attend our public WG meetings to learn about the work, ask questions, and share your needs with everyone building out these changes. Make sure you are on the MDS Mailing List to get the latest info, recaps, and calendar invites.

We will be sharing details about each of these meetings soon, with the kickoff happening this Thursday and using some of the time for gathering use cases for delivery robots.

Thanks,

Michael Schnuerle
