A global coalition, called the Open Mobility Foundation (OMF), has launched with the mission to promote safety, equity and quality of life in cities. The OMF brings together academic, commercial, advocacy and municipal stakeholders to help cities develop and deploy new digital mobility tools, and provide the governance needed to efficiently manage them. Serving as a forum for discussions about pedestrian safety, privacy, equity and other related topics, the OMF has engaged a broad range of city and municipal stakeholders, including private companies, to ensure comprehensive engagement and expertise on vital issues. In addition to cities and public agencies, the OMF is funded in part by The Rockefeller Foundation and tech companies such as Microsoft. President of the Rockefeller Foundation, Dr. Rajiv Shah stated “The Open Mobility Foundation is a great example of how governments can leverage the power of data to transform and modernize the use of city infrastructure to ensure a more equitable future for all.”
