Thank you so much for tuning in to our presentation with Zackary Campos of @ladotr.bsky.social about their #CodeTheCurb initiative.

Very exciting things are coming out of this data study and we can’t wait to enjoy them with you. 🚴‍♂️ #LosAngeles #Transit #Equity #Mobility #DataAndDonuts #LADOT
The Future Vision The curb isn't just for parking. It's a flexible, dynamic space that can adapt to our city's needs in real-time-a truly smart and responsive city.

The data behind curb use is diverse and multifunctional. All of these items and uses add up to a necessary study of who uses the Curb, how long they use the curb, and how LADOT can use this data in the future. #CodeTheCurb #LADOT #Transit #MicroMobility #LosAngeles
A matrix of uses and APIs of the curb all relating to each other. Events and status could correlate to areas and Zones, as well as objects and spaces.

The Curbs API looks at geometric positioning of the curb, separated by use and location on the curb. #DataAndDonuts #CodeTheCurb #GovTech #API

Area of interest around a curb Zone used to share vehicle proximity, approach, conflicts, circling, exit, double parking, other activity. Zone - Required.

Thank you for tuning in to #DataAndDonuts today for this very important discussion about #GovTech #ContentGeneratedAI #AI

Jon: “AI probably won’t take your jobs, but people who use AI will take the jobs of people who don’t.” @countyofla.bsky.social

Thx @awalkerinla.bsky.social for moderating! 🔥

Using these documents, we restrict the data set to only what was uploaded. #ContentGeneratedAI #AI #DataAndDonuts #GovTech #Networking #Tariffs @countyofla.bsky.social
Prompt: What areas of ISD services might be impacted by the increased tariffs? Output: Based on the Customer Rate Handbook, increased tariffs would primarily impact ISD services that rely on the acquisition of imported physical goods, hardware, and equipment. The higher cost of these items would be passed on to L.A. County departments, as ISD's rate-setting model is based on recovering all allowable costs. Gemini can make mistakes, so double-check it!

Context Driven AI can prove to be a useful business tool, and Jon has shown that feeding the system a specific requirement can help take ALOT of work and bring it into reality in a valuable, expedited, succinct way.

After the barriers were installed, the numbers showed 29 assaults vs 116 assaults measured before the installation. This is over approximately 1.3 million trips! #MetroLosAngeles #DataAndDonuts #GovernmentTech #Transit

With their #Data first approach, #MetroLosAngeles presents their finding on what the definition of Assault is, and how many bus operators have endured.

Comparing these numbers with bus trip data, they were able to see the full state of bus operator safety on the system. #DataAndDonuts
