👋 Everyone in the room during my TransitData presentation had used GTFS in the past for their work. 👀 But many had never heard of the non-profit that stewards it, MobilityData. This is a gap we want to bridge! If you use transit standards for analysis, are pained by data quality issues, and care about creating interoperable systems, there's a community waiting for you. (With open source tools to try like the open data platform, the Mobility Database: https://lnkd.in/gCWhQADg).
This hits home. At OW | Optimize The World, we rely heavily on the integrity and interoperability of these standards to drive our optimization engines. The community-driven nature of MobilityData is what keeps transit innovation moving forward. If you are serious about data quality, engaging with this community is not just beneficial—it is a responsibility. Thank you, Emma Blue, for highlighting this gap and bringing more visibility to the incredible work MobilityData does for our industry.👏
Great Work!
Thanks to my colleague Etienne Pichot Damon for the picture. 😊
