MDS Technical FAQ

Answering some common technical questions about MDS, data, and implementation.

How can I get access to MDS data?

The Open Mobility Foundation (OMF) does not have any direct or indirect access to Mobility Data Specification (MDS) data from providers or agencies, unless the endpoints are public (for example, in the Policy, Geography, or Jurisdiction APIs). You may choose to contact providers or agencies directly if you need access to MDS data for research or other purposes.
