STEP 1: MAKE DATA ACCESSIBLE

• Getting stuff out there…• https://data.austintexas.gov/browse?

tags=transportation• https://

data.austintexas.gov/Government/Traffic-Count-Study-Area/cqdh-farx/data

• Connected vehicle pilot data• Integrated corridor management data• https://www.its-rde.net/

STEP 2: BRING TOGETHER DATA ACROSS ENTITIES

NCTCOG Data

Pulling it all together.Example: Portland PORTAL

https://portal.its.pdx.edu/

• Fortworthtexas.gov : “Established as a two-way data share, Waze provides partners with anonymous, Waze-generated incident and slow-down information directly from the source: drivers themselves. In exchange, Fort Worth provides construction, crash and road closure data to Waze to return succinct, thorough overviews of current road conditions.”

• Texas partners:

•Texas – CareFlite (Genesis Pulse) •Texas – Champion EMS (Genesis Pulse) •Texas – ETMC EMS (Genesis Pulse) •Texas - City of Fort Worth •Texas – LifeNet EMS (Genesis Pulse)

STEP 3: COLLABORATIVE PLATFORMS

Example: Data.World

• Data.World– https://data.world/rflprr/austin-cycling-survey– https://data.world/health/transportation-to-work

• <<picture of discovery environment>>

FINAL THOUGHTS• Open by default• Data federation• Build together with open tools• Embrace win-wins with private sector
