Track E

Agencies continue to search for innovative methods or approaches to electronically share data and information involving the conditions, services, and multi-modal options associated with managing traffic on the surface transportation system within the roadway digital ecosystem. This track will explore a range of issues agencies may consider with sharing and using data electronically with emerging sources, third-party service providers, connected and automated vehicles, connected travelers, or with different types of events (e.g., construction work zones).

SESSION 5E Can we all get along – data sharing eco-systems

Effective data sharing among public agencies, private companies, and technology providers is critical for optimizing mobility, safety, and efficiency. However, competing interests, proprietary concerns, and regulatory complexities often create barriers to seamless collaboration. This session will explore the challenges and opportunities in fostering a cooperative data-sharing ecosystem that benefits all stakeholders. Experts across the transportation and technology sectors will discuss interoperability solutions, privacy safeguards, and trust-building strategies to balance public and private interests. Attendees will gain insights into successful data-sharing frameworks, lessons from real-world collaborations, and pathways to resolving conflicts over data access and ownership—paving the way for a more connected and efficient transportation future.
