MDS is a digital tool that helps cities to better manage transportation in the public right of way. MDS standardizes communication and data-sharing between cities and private mobility providers, such as e-scooter and bikeshare companies. At its core, MDS is a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs), which allow data to flow between cities and providers.
