MDS Working Group Agenda - March 13, 2025 - Real Time Policy Improvements

[Michael Schnuerle]

Hello MDS Working Group,

Our next MDS working group meeting is this Thursday, March 13, 2025, at 9 am PT, 12 pm ET, and 6 pm CET.

MDS Real Time Policy Improvements

While MDS Policy can be real-time if required by an agency 1) the spec doesn't explicitly say this clearly and 2) there is not a good way to get the latest policy because the entire policy has to be downloaded to be checked for an update. See Issue #906 and PR #928 and leave your comments, support, and use cases now.  

Meeting Agenda: 

1. Intro and announcements (10 min)
2. Fixed Route Services #927 Recap (5 mins)
3. MDS Real Time Policy Improvements
   1. Real-time improvements for MDS Policy (20 mins) - Discussions:
      1. Issue #906 and PR #928
      2. Query parameter to return only last updated date/time
      3. New endpoint that allows push of new policies
      4. New Notification/Communication push endpoint/API that sends updates from city to operator
   2. Discussion/Comments (20 mins)
