2023 Urbanism Next Conference
Using Open Data Governance to Responsibly Scale Emerging Transportation Technologies
Location: Oregon Convention Center - C-122
Climate change, a global pandemic, and market forces are rapidly changing the nature of retail, work, health, and many other aspects of our daily lives that intersect with transportation. In this session, moderated by Cityfi, we will hear from the Open Mobility Foundation, Portland Bureau of Transportation, Portland Metro, and INRIX about how public and private sector stakeholders can develop open data standards and governance tools that promote technological advancements to support commercial mobility and logistics service providers to responsibly utilize public right-of-way both locally and at scale.
CE Credits for APA, AIA, and ASLA, should be available for many sessions and workshops. More information on this will be available shortly.
