摘要：	Highway, traffic, and other condition-type data are essential to the operation of a successful Department of Transportation (DOT). Data are necessary for performance monitoring, asset management, resource allocation and reporting to customers. Decision makers are becoming more reliant on accurate, timely data. However, there are many issues associated with integrating data into the operation of DOTs. There are also many data gaps. For example, reauthorization efforts are finding that some critical data elements for tracking system performance and determining long-term funding needs traditionally have not been included in the analysis process. To explore the importance of data programs further, the TRB Statewide Transportation Data and Information Systems Committee organized a peer exchange in conjunction with the TRB Joint Midyear Meeting. This committee is concerned with statewide transportation planning data and information systems for all modes of transportation. The FHWA Office of Planning, Environment, and Realty provided funding to support travel of public sector committee members and guest transportation professionals. This peer exchange provided a forum to share ideas on raising the awareness of data programs and ensuring that our data add value to the operation of our departments. It also allowed the sharing of what states are doing to address data gaps and as a result to raise awareness of the importance of data programs to decision-making processes. Participants benefited by sharing best practice ideas and by developing collective strategies to help each other with emerging problems. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
