The Big Data Innovation team was created in 2015 with the mission of leveraging emerging transportation datasets together with existing City data to develop a new understanding of transportation issues across all modes in the City. The focus of the Big Data Innovation Team will be on conducting practical analyses of transportation data to be able to more easily measure the impact and benefits of policies and solutions. The team will be partnering with researchers and will focus on providing excellence in the communication and visualization of findings.
