Curb today announced the launch of Curb Flow in Seattle, introducing its universal ride-hailing marketplace to one of the country’s most active and fast-growing urban transportation markets. The expansion is designed to enhance access to licensed taxi service across the region while directly supporting driver earning potential and streamlining fleet operations.

Seattle welcomed approximately 40 million visitors in 2024, while continuing to rank among the 10 most congested cities in the United States, with drivers losing an average of 63 hours each year to traffic delays.

Curb Flow was built to address these dynamics by unifying ride demand from street hails, fleet dispatch systems, and app-based bookings into a single, intelligent network. By consolidating demand in real time, the platform reduces idle time for drivers, increases trip opportunities, and improves overall vehicle utilization. For licensed taxi drivers, this translates into more consistent access to fares and stronger earning potential. For fleet operators, Curb Flow delivers greater visibility into demand patterns, more efficient dispatching, and improved operational coordination across vehicles.

The benefits are particularly impactful during peak travel periods associated with events at Lumen Field and Climate Pledge Arena, cruise season activity along the waterfront, and major conventions in the downtown core, when demand can spike rapidly and unpredictably.

“Seattle is a dynamic mobility market where demand shifts quickly based on commuter flows, tourism, and special events,” said Dorel Tamam, Vice President, Mobile Business Unit at Curb. “Curb Flow was designed to help drivers earn more and help fleets operate more efficiently, while strengthening the overall transportation ecosystem. By bringing demand into one intelligent network, we’re enhancing reliability for riders and improving urban mobility citywide.”

Curb has established a robust partnership ecosystem through Curb Flow, collaborating with providers such as Uber to broaden access to licensed taxi supply while maintaining a driver-first operating model. This approach supports drivers, modernizes fleet operations, and integrates licensed taxis more seamlessly into Seattle’s broader transportation landscape.

Seattle joins a growing list of major North American markets where Curb Flow is active, including New York City, Chicago, and San Francisco. Since the platform’s launch in 2023, Curb’s nationwide network volume has increased fourfold as demand grows for more efficient, connected urban transportation solutions. 

With the launch of Curb Flow in Seattle, Curb continues to invest in technology that strengthens licensed taxi service, improves fleet performance, and advances a more resilient and responsive urban mobility system.
