  • 00:28:58 Brian Hamlin | Seattle DOT: Replying to "is freight activity being covered in a different category?"

  • Support for business access may fall into that?

  • 00:35:06 Kenya Wheeler | San Francisco MTA: Agreed! Can’t we have them all?

  • 00:35:09 Jason Neudorf: Agree - it's very hard to choose; they're all priorities!

  • 00:35:37 Aylene McCallum - OMF: Replying to "Lots of overlap here..."

  • 00:49:29 Andrew Glass Hastings (OMF): Replying to "I saw e-ink parking ..."

  • 00:56:21 Melissa McMahon (Arlington County): I can't see the pic in the chat?

  • 00:56:28 Rae-Leigh Stark (PBOT): We're dealing with really low payment compliance at our meters. I've been thinking about ways to make paying for parking easier -- for example, when you park on the curb the app automatically sends an alert to pay? Or are there any apps that work on CarPlay that is also automatic when you park on the curb?

  • 00:56:33 Rick Neubauer (Umojo): Replying to "Apologies if I misse..."
