Abstract: Emerging mobility services (e.g., ridehailing, e-commerce, micromobility, etc.) are generating novel and rapidly growing demands to use curbside space, with potentially large impacts on mobility, energy consumption, and related outcomes. This presents both opportunities and challenges to municipal agencies responsible for managing this interface between the road network and adjacent land uses, as legacy practices require updating. In this study, we employ a semistructured interviewing approach to establish how municipalities are adapting to these new pressures on their curbside. We interviewed senior staff responsible for curbside policy of ten large U.S. municipalities with populations ranging from ~250,000 to ~5,000,000, the majority of which are the central cities of their respective metropolitan regions.
