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

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!

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

Greg Fair, of California’s Department of Technology, shares the framework for California Digital Identity Platform development. #DataAndDonuts #DigitalIdentity #California
California Digital Identity Framework Easier access to all of California's state benefits. The Digital ID framework is designed to create universal access to state services for individuals in Calfornia using a single credential; your Digital ID. As a result, the Digital ID Framework will enable a system that minimizes the need to repeat verification processes for multiple programs. Cheaper, more efficient identity and eligibility management for state agencies. The Digital ID Framework helps ensure that resources invested at the state level by agencies like CDT wil benefit all state agencies, reducing the individual cost and administrative burdens associated with verification and accelerating statewide modernization. Increased security, privacy, and general minimization of sensitive data storage. The Digital ID Framework will provide all state agencies access to standardized security and world class privacy protocols to protect sensitive information. By working across the spectrum of state agencies the Digital ID Framework facilitates a one-to-many model that increases access to more information sources while minimizing sensitive data storage.
