Transportation (Electric Vehicles)

This bill requires the District Department of Transportation (DDOT) to implement an automated curbside management system for loading and unloading zones. The system would use cameras or sensors to track real-time curbside use and automatically bill drivers via a mobile or web-based account, replacing manual meter payments. DDOT must also establish regulations for a "Smart Loading Zones Program" within 90 days, detailing zone locations, enrollment rules, fee schedules, and contest processes for fines. The bill allows but does not mandate dynamic pricing that adjusts fees based on demand. It aims to reduce traffic congestion and improve access for delivery drivers, businesses, and residents by ensuring consistent curbside availability.
