Overview: Find out what the City of Las Vegas is doing to bring some order to the chaos created by rideshare in the downtown core.  The City of Las Vegas has embraced the Smart Cities movement and part of that initiative is looking at how to apply technology to the curb and off-street staging areas to get rideshare drivers off the streets when they aren’t carrying passengers.  This case study will start with a description of the city’s data-gathering pilot program for managing the curb manually and will report on the technology custom developed to replace the humans needed to control the curb as well as create an off-street staging area for rideshare drivers.  Attendees will learn what drives rideshare congestion and will take away effective tools for applying technology and policy in both on-street and off-street environments aimed at reducing rideshare-created congestion.
