MDS
An open API specification for standardizing data exchange between cities and mobility providers to regulate shared vehicles in the public right-of-way.
What is MDS?
Mobility Data Specification (MDS) is an open API standard that facilitates data exchange between cities and mobility providers to regulate shared transportation services. It solves the problem of fragmented communication by providing a unified framework for managing vehicle operations, enforcing digital policies, and enabling geofencing in public rights-of-way. MDS helps cities implement effective mobility policies while giving providers clear guidelines for compliance.
Public transportation agencies, city planners, and mobility service providers (e.g., scooter, bike-share, car-share companies) who need to implement or comply with regulatory data-sharing requirements.
Developers choose MDS because it's an industry-adopted open standard that reduces integration complexity, ensures interoperability between cities and providers worldwide, and provides modular APIs that can be tailored to specific regulatory needs without vendor lock-in.
