Data is great! So how does the NYC Department of Transportation’s Bicycle Unit get it? Speakers in this session will provide a ground up review of how they get the numbers that get results. Dig into the weeds about how to access hard data, including setting up count programs, and learn more about what data is available on NYC OpenData. Emerge with a stronger understanding of how to collect and crunch the numbers and feel empowered to help build a movement that is creating safer streets for all road users.
