Modes Month: Passenger Services Proposal

[Michael Schnuerle]

Hello MDS Working Group and Passenger Services Folks,

At this week's MDS working group meeting, we continue with MDS "Modes Month" (see blog post), and the discussion will be around a review of the passenger services proposal.

To prepare for this meeting, we'd love it if you could review the draft feature branch and think about if this meets your organization's data requirements:

We will also hear from San Francisco's SFMTA and review their current taxi data requirements, regulatory authority, use cases, and overview of data collected.

More MDS 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. These Working Group meetings will focus on some aspect of new modes (passenger services, delivery robots, carshare) with notes, slides, and recordings after the meetings:

• 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.

Thanks,
