The transport data ecosystem is vast and complex and intersects with multiple stakeholders including those that generate, maintain, manage, and analyse data across government, industry, and individuals.
From telehealth to online sales, cloud computing and remote working, COVID-19 has driven a huge leap forward in our digital capability and our appetite for data.
Transport data is a vital component of activating existing and emerging technologies to deliver safer, more efficient, and more sustainable transport networks. Enabling both better planning, management and improving the customer experience now and into the future. Government at all levels are both data managers and developers and working with industry and our communities will enable the best outcomes.
In this webinar, we will hear from industry experts about the potential for data both in the current landscape and what it can mean for the future.
