MDS Technical FAQ
Answering some common technical questions about MDS, data, and implementation.
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, or see if they have published any data publicly.
A Provider ID is required for using MDS as a provider sharing data with agencies. Find out how to get one in our Adding a Provider ID help document.
An Agency ID is required for using Policy Requirements. Find out how to get one in our Adding an Agency ID help document.
