Urban SDK Expands Ohio Presence with Boardman Township Collaboration on Traffic Safety

Boardman officials embrace data-driven approach to traffic management

Urban SDK Partners With Boardman Township

Urban SDK is proud to announce that Boardman Township, Ohio, has officially partnered with us to tackle public speeding complaints and improve traffic safety across the community.

With a population of approximately 40,000, Boardman Township becomes the second Ohio municipality to join Urban SDK's program this month, following the City of Canton. This partnership underscores the township’s commitment to leveraging data-driven solutions to enhance the safety and well-being of its residents.

Boardman Township has faced increasing concerns from residents regarding speeding in residential areas and along key roadways. To address these concerns effectively, the township recognized the need for a robust traffic management platform capable of providing traffic speed data, identifying high-risk areas, and supporting data-backed traffic calming measures.

Ross Loehr, Urban SDK’s representative for Boardman Township, commented on the new partnership:“We feel very fortunate to welcome Boardman Township into the Urban SDK family," said Urban SDK's Ross Loehr. "With our comprehensive platform, the township will be equipped to respond swiftly and effectively to public complaints about speeding."

Addressing Traffic Safety Challenges

Boardman Township, located in Mahoning County, is a growing suburban community with a mix of residential, commercial, and industrial areas. The township’s population of around 40,000 has seen a steady increase, contributing to greater traffic volumes and the subsequent rise in traffic-related issues.

Resident concerns about speeding vehicles have prompted the township to seek a data-driven approach to traffic management.

Using Urban SDK’s advanced traffic management platform, Boardman Township can now:

• Monitor and Analyze Traffic Speeds: Access traffic speed data to identify problem areas and validate public complaints about speeding
  ‍
• Implement Traffic Calming Measures: Utilize data to support the implementation of traffic calming strategies such as speed enforcement, speed limit adjustments, and the installation of physical traffic calming devices
  ‍
• Enhance Traffic Enforcement: Strengthen the township’s ability to enforce traffic laws by pinpointing high-risk areas and deploying resources more effectively
  ‍
• Improve Traffic Safety: Reduce the occurrence of speeding-related incidents and enhance overall road safety for both drivers and pedestrians

A New Era of Traffic Management

The integration of Urban SDK’s platform into Boardman Township’s traffic management strategy marks a significant advancement in the township’s ability to ensure public safety. By utilizing traffic data and analytics, the township can take a more proactive approach to addressing speeding complaints and making data-driven decisions about traffic enforcement.

This partnership also positions Boardman Township alongside other forward-thinking communities in Ohio, such as Canton, which recently joined Urban SDK’s program. Together, these cities are leading the charge in adopting innovative solutions to manage traffic volumes and improve safety on their streets.

"This collaboration is a significant step towards making Boardman’s streets safer, and we’re excited to support the township in this vital mission,” added Loehr.
