Navigating the rising TIDES—Exploring the present and future of transit data standards
TIDES (Transit ITS Data Exchange Specification) is a new, open standard to access and manage data generated by transit technology systems. It is currently managed by MobilityData, the nonprofit that oversees general transit feed specification. This workshop will demonstrate current TIDES implementations; crowdsource innovative uses of TIDES data, including National Transit Database reporting and performance dashboards; and collaboratively explore opportunities to extend TIDES to new data sources and new use cases for industry and research.
