TIDES Briefing: Access Improved Ridership and Performance Data
📊 Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority (WMATA), Caltrans, and Mountain Line (Missoula, MT) are joining us June 2 for a free public briefing on TIDES: the open standard for historical transit operations data.
TIDES (Transit Integrated Data Exchange Specification) is doing for historical operations data what GTFS did for transit schedules: giving the industry a shared, open format for the ridership counts, fare transactions, passenger loads, and vehicle performance data agencies already produce.
You’ll hear from:
🚆 Judd Nicholson, EVP & Chief Digital Officer, WMATA
🚉 Evan Siroky, Transit Data Quality Branch Manager, Caltrans
🚌 Garin Wally, Transit Analyst, Mountain Line (Missoula, MT)
What you’ll leave with:
✔ When TIDES is the right fit for your organization, and when it isn’t
✔ How regulatory and performance reporting can become a byproduct of clean historical operations data
✔ Where to find real-world TIDES resources, including WMATA’s recently open-sourced implementation
✔ How TIDES is gaining momentum across the Americas and beyond
