- CurbIQ continues to help cities effectively balance economic growth, mobility, and sustainability goals, while setting a new global standard in curbside management.
Los Angeles, CA – August 20, 2025 – Arcadis, a global leader in design and consultancy for natural and built assets, today announced that it will implement CurbIQ, a cutting-edge curbside management solution, for the Los Angeles Department of Transportation (LADOT). Financing from the United States Department of Transportation's Strengthening Mobility and Revolutionizing Transportation (SMART) grant program will fund the project.
Creation of a digital inventory of physical curb lane assets in Downtown Los Angeles, covering over 200 curb miles, will lay the groundwork for asset planning and management. Harnessing the power of data-driven insights will evolve curbside management for the city and empower LADOT to make informed planning and operational decisions. CurbIQ’s comprehensive suite of data collection, analysis, and visualization solutions will equip LADOT to dynamically manage the curb inventory in real time.
The digital platform integrates surveyed curbside data, demand analysis, and third-party City software data sources. The goal of the project is to reduce congestion and optimize curb use in high-demand areas downtown, leading to better traffic management, more effective use of parking and loading zones, and ultimately a more accessible and efficient urban environment.
LADOT has positioned itself as a leader in forward-thinking urban planning by anticipating future needs for large-scale events like the 2026 World Cup and the LA2028 Olympics and taking the initiative to manage curbside access. By integrating demand data, advanced analytics, and dynamic planning capabilities, Arcadis is helping LADOT achieve its goals for the SMART Grant project. The project is currently underway, with Phase 1 slated for completion in December 2025.
Tomas Carranza, the Assistant General Manager and Chief Technology Officer for the Office of Planning & Innovation for LADOT, said: “With its innovative CurbIQ product, Arcadis stands as the ideal partner for LADOT on this transformative journey toward smarter curbside management. Through CurbIQ's advanced analytics and dynamic management platform, we will enhance traffic flow, regulate curbside assets efficiently, and pave the way for a more accessible and organized urban environment. This project marks a significant step toward optimizing curbside management in dense urban areas like Downtown Los Angeles.”
Jacob Malleau, Head of Product for CurbIQ at Arcadis, said: “The collaboration between CurbIQ and LADOT exemplifies a commitment to sustainable, resilient, and smart urban infrastructure development. We are excited to see how the data being generated for this project can be used to improve curbside operations in LA, and be a leading example for other cities throughout North America.”
Arcadis continues to expand its presence on the West Coast, securing contracts in Seattle, WA, West Hollywood, CA, Kirkland, WA, and numerous other cities across North America. As a trusted curb management solution, Arcadis consistently proves to be the top choice for cities seeking to optimize urban mobility and curbside efficiency.
