+The Mobility Data Specification (**MDS**), a project of the [Open Mobility Foundation](http://www.openmobilityfoundation.org) (**OMF**), is a set of Application Programming Interfaces (APIs) focused on shared mobility services such as dockless scooters, bicycles, mopeds, and carshare, and inspired by projects like [GTFS](https://developers.google.com/transit/gtfs/reference/) and [GBFS](https://github.com/NABSA/gbfs). MDS is a digital tool that helps cities better manage transportation in the public right of way, standardizing communication and data-sharing between cities and private mobility providers, allowing cities to share and validate policy digitally, and enabling vehicle management and better outcomes for residents.
