Transit agencies collect a wealth of data on their systems and how riders use and experience them. As transit ridership begins to recover from the pandemic, agencies are leveraging this data to provide more information to customers, make decisions about how their services can evolve, and to support multimodal travel. This webinar will explore how good data management can enable innovative strategies, including examples of how the MBTA has used a variety of data sources to inform service planning during the pandemic and recovery. We will also discuss how data sharing can connect transit agencies with partners that support agency functions and research.

Speakers:
Laura Riegel, Director of Data Strategy, MBTA
