    Why not, and how could you improve the data quality?

    Count Response
    1 Plan and resources for implementation
    1 The speed data is random (when residents complain and about speeding in their neighborhood) and sometimes quite old data is used.
    1 Need more detailed data, as datasets are based on truck volume, but do not tell us what the truck is hauling, if it's empty or full.
    1 Currently the peak/commuter bike volume is counted, but this does not accurately reflect the demand or use to properly measure performance and consider improvements. Daily counts would be more useful, but more time consuming and expensive to obtain. Currently the data collection is done at the same time as vehicle and pedestrian counts to efficiently gather information during the same opportunity.
    1 on-time arrival information definition for data collection doesn't match the way public would see as on-time, some technical issues

  12. What significant changes are planned for the data systems you work with? Include changes in data collection, dissemination, data uses, or storage of the data.
    Count Response
    1 Data can be cumbersome to track and generate useful reports.
    1 Source for crash data may change. Possible divided roads in centerline.
    1 The plan is no plan
    1 TMS Data Zone created to provide TMS data is an easily consumable way, started with traffic data and plan to add safety & other data; TMS Modernization project to bring the software up to data; the new FAST Act/MAP-21 requirements for data based on the final Performance Measure rules
    1 We are currently refocusing our priorities to intersection and turning movement counts. We also are looking to start systematic ped and bike counts within our community.
    1 We are just starting our bike counting program and setting up our first counters today. We will have some permanent trail counters that will get deployed in the next month or so.
  13. Is there a formal structure for managing and governing the data? This could include formally defined roles and responsibilities, formation of a data governance council, or development of a data governance manual and data catalog.
    Pie chart for if there is a formal structure for managing data: I do not know (12.5%), No (37.5%), Yes (please specify) (50%).
    Response "Yes (please specify)" Count

    Clear license agreement 1
    We have a Technology Steering Committee to review significant projects (cost wise) 1
    Management structure, defined data collection measures, defined data collection, frequency targets, annual data reporting. Data measures and methods are derived from standards of practice (e.g. FHWA performance metrics, HCM level of service methods) 1
    Certain individuals or work groups are tasked with developing count needs and deploying equipment. 1

    If no, would setting one be helpful?

    How does collaboration take place?

    Count Response
    1 Assist with data, planning and analysis. Sharing relevant and available data.
    1 Collaboration with MARC and local jurisdictions, data shared on an as-needed basis.
    1 Regular Meetings, email, etc.
    1 working with agencies to understand their needs
    1 Share with MPOs and RPCs by email, webinar, demonstrations in meetings; also share with MPTA on transit data
    1 Often one on one communication with others with similar duties in other organizations. Often in person, phone call or e-mail.
    1 We have a quarterly meeting with the Johnson County Traffic Engineers to discuss common areas of interest.

    Dissemination. 1

    supporting staff and guidelines 1
    Having the same format so data is easily shared; needs to be collected by the same standards and rules 1
    Regionally inconsistent data and performance metrics/uses of data between agencies within MARC boundary 1

  17. Please indicate any additional comments that would help us with this project. For instance, what should MARC look for to achieve an effective data sharing partnership with your organization?
    Count Response
    1 I compiled the comments from Design, Planning, Transit and Safety Staff for this survey. I am not a collector of data but included all MoDOT comments in this one survey. Last comment: There are various levels of "sharing" so clearly defining the scope of sharing is critical. I can share something with you by giving you a hard copy report, emailing you a data set, or set up a database where multiple agencies can enter their data, extract it to analyze and review. This wide range of "sharing" needs clarification on any data integration project.
    1 Supporting IT designer to: a) evaluate and compile available data, b) eliminate duplication of efforts to create data, and c) identify the options to generate the needed data
    1 When requesting data in an RFP focus on performance specs and standard data sets otherwise if you ask for customized data sets you will end up paying much higher fees.
