Transit Data Management
9:45 - 11:15 a.m.
Grand Ballroom B, Level 2
How valuable is the information really?
We are all flooded in data. Modern transit operations and
management systems are producing massive amounts
of information but is the information produced useful or
is it just paralyzing. There are methods to address data
management which are specific to the transit environment.
This session will explore these methods to help transit
agencies successfully manage data to ensure optimal use of
information.
