AEC Account Manager StreetLight Data, Inc. Reston, VA, United States
Agencies must make challenging decisions with the limited staff, funding, and metrics they have available. How can agencies make better decisions to improve transportation in their community? By leveraging big data and analytics in their work, they can reduce staff time in data collection, prevent putting their staff safety at risk on the road, improve justification for funding, and measure performance to ensure that the work they are doing is resulting in the intended improvements. By utilizing metrics from big data, agencies can fully understand the impacts of their decisions. Dan will share how StreetLight customers have used big data and analytics to make real, operational improvements to their transportation services, networks, and communities. The presentation will take a look at: • Which U.S. regions are leading in pedestrian and biking activity, and which lag behind • How pedestrian and cycling trends are shifting by region • How anyone can use big data to monitor active transportation trends in your area At the end of the presentation, attendees will understand how they can get a holistic view of bike and pedestrian traffic using Big Data to evaluate, prioritize, and communicate the most impactful active transportation projects that make your streets safer and more accessible.
