NCMM Transportation Data Standards Survey

The National Center for Mobility Management (NCMM) also is seeking state and local input on transportation data standards. The NCMM Transportation Data Standards Survey will gather state and local transportation and human services stakeholders’ input on the landscape of collecting, reporting, sharing, and coordinating transportation-related data.  Survey results will be used to help the Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility (CCAM) address one of the transportation coordination challenges identified in the 2020 Coordinating Council on Access and Mobility (CCAM) Report to the President:  the need for transportation data collection guidance.
