🧩 Street OS is an Open-Source "Operating System" for streets interoperable, prefabricated modular components.
💪 Street OS components are installed without the heavy machinery required for cast-in-place infrastructure.
💰 Street OS saves cities time and money while implementing safer biking and walking facilities.
🧱 Staff can put together streetscapes using "LEGO"-like modules, rather than rely on expensive engineering time creating bespoke designs.
♻️ Easily replaced when they become worn out, or removed temporarily to access utilities.
🌧️ Able to be deployed in nearly any weather condition, unlike cast-in-place.
🛠️ Can be installed by small and fledgling contractors who are owned by underrepresented communities (e.g. Minority and Women-Owned Businesses) without costly equipment.
🌳 100% of emissions from manufacturing can be sequestered/mitigated in factory settings, unlike cast-in-place methods.
☔ 100% of rain water is infiltrated on-site, rather than implement costly stormwater treatment and drainage infrastructure.
