Mobility Data Workshop

[Kevin Karner]

Hey all,

I'm a new member (though longtime admirer) of the group. I thought an upcoming event might be of interest to the group, particularly to those who work with local government and/or transportation professionals.   

On July 11, the University of Minnesota's Center for Transportation Studies will be hosting a morning workshop on data sharing with shared mobility services--anything from Uber/Lyft to scooters to Nice Ride. The topics we're hoping to address include:

• What data are we talking about and why is it important?
• What are the concerns with individual privacy and how can they be addressed?
• Why don’t private companies want to share data?
• What are the technical challenges to creating, managing, and using all this data?
• How do local, state, national, and internal policies on data affect these issues?

Cheers!

Kevin
