Participants in this peer exchange identified and discussed actions that could assist in ensuring the availability of data needed for effective transportation decision making: Institutionalizing data as a transportation asset by aligning information programs with organizational goals and articulating the value of data to decision making; communicating opportunities and limitations of data assets to managers and decision makers; and providing easy access to data and metadata to describe it. Enhancing data and information programs by developing data business plans as dynamic organizing frameworks; linking data systems to organizational goals; defining responsibilities, boundaries, and flows and providing a basis for setting data investment priorities; strengthening data programs for performance measurement by standardizing definitions, reporting practices, and linear referencing systems (LRS) to support integration across agencies, network components, and jurisdictions; conducting benchmarking analyses within and among states using national databases; and using data for outcome analyses to understand effectiveness of actions. Developing data producer and information technology (IT) competencies that include organizational knowledge; strategic thinking; openness to new data uses, applications, and technologies; team building, networking, and negotiating skills; technical skills to accommodate emerging technology and information management solutions; and the capability to conduct more sophisticated data analyses. / Availability Note: Product reproduced from digital image.
