Urban SDK Partners With Lowell

The City of Lowell, Massachusetts, has partnered with Urban SDK to enhance traffic safety and address persistent speeding concerns within the community.

As one of the latest Massachusetts municipalities to adopt Urban SDK’s traffic management platform, Lowell is dedicated to leveraging data to improve safety and respond to resident concerns more effectively. With a population of over 115,000, Lowell seeks to harness the power of validated traffic speed and volume data to ensure its streets remain safe and well-regulated.

Urban SDK’s platform will allow Lowell to monitor, analyze, and act on crucial data from high-speed areas and congested zones. This move underscores the city’s commitment to utilizing the latest technology to prioritize traffic calming, traffic enforcement, and hotspot identification strategies based on precise roadway data.

In addition to its direct feedback program, Lowell also receives crash data from the Massachusetts Department of Transportation (MassDOT), making Urban SDK’s tools a natural complement to the city’s traffic management initiatives.

“Lowell’s decision to adopt Urban SDK demonstrates the city’s proactive approach to traffic safety," Urban SDK's Ross Loehr expressed enthusiastically. "It’s inspiring to see communities across Massachusetts leading the way in data-driven public safety initiatives.”

Strengthening Traffic Safety and Community Trust

Lowell’s investment in Urban SDK’s platform reflects its commitment to addressing the nationwide safety and quality of life issues associated with speeding and traffic volumes. With a combination of MassDOT crash data and Urban SDK’s traffic data, city officials are well-equipped to take data-backed action.

By visualizing traffic volumes and speed data, Lowell can quickly pinpoint areas where traffic calming or enforcement measures may be needed, ultimately creating safer streets for residents and visitors.

Through this partnership, Urban SDK’s platform enables Lowell to:

• Track traffic speed data and volumes across high-risk areas
• Implement targeted traffic enforcement strategies
• Utilize crash data in conjunction with real-time analytics to identify potential issues before they escalate

This proactive use of data aims to enhance public trust, as residents can see tangible efforts to respond to their safety concerns. Through Urban SDK’s platform, Lowell officials can evaluate the effectiveness of traffic management measures and share transparent data on their progress with the community.

Lowell joins an expanding list of Massachusetts cities using Urban SDK, alongside municipalities like Randolph, Foxborough, and South Hadley. This growth highlights the Commonwealth’s commitment to adopting smart city solutions that leverage data for better safety and management.

The shared knowledge and resources across Urban SDK’s Massachusetts customers enable Lowell to remain proactive and collaborative in its approach to public safety.
