Our Mission

The Mobility Data Collaborative is a multi-sector forum where mobility partners gather to establish a framework for mobility data sharing. Our partners share a joint vision of leveraging mobility data to promote safe, equitable, and livable streets for all.

Our Principles

Foster Inclusivity and Equality. The Collaborative’s efforts should endeavor to benefit everyone.

Embrace Collaboration. Each partner offers unique expertise and perspectives. Together, we can accomplish more.

Support Wide Adoption. We invite all municipalities and private organizations to leverage our learnings.

Complement, not Duplicate. We never start from scratch: We build from the work and knowledge of our partners and the wider mobility community.

Act with Urgency. Our work has real, tangible impact on our city streets. We will move deliberately to bring about results.

Challenge Ourselves. We will continually adapt as new forms of mobility emerge.

Data Sharing Glossary and Metrics for Shared Micromobility provides a consensus-based set of definitions for commonly used terms and metrics.

Guidelines for Mobility Data Sharing Governance and Contracting provides a framework that aligns the interests of the public and private sectors while addressing privacy, transparency, data ownership, and consumer trust.
