Today, organizations use data to recognize patterns and needs. As data is collected, collated, aggregated and analyzed, it is important to protect the privacy of individuals. The MDC and FPF collaboratively developed a practical set of resources for organizations to ensure appropriate legal and policy review of mobility data sharing initiatives.
Regulators—from policymakers to infrastructure managers and planners—rely on data to make decisions. It is imperative that performance metrics are consistent across operators and regions to enable stakeholders to effectively communicate and measure the impact of new forms of mobility. Data Sharing Glossary and Metrics for Shared Micromobility provides a consensus-based set of definitions for commonly used terms and metrics.
Mobility data holds great potential to support transportation officials and their efforts to manage the public right-of-way, but the unlimited distribution of mobility data carries untested risks to privacy and public trust. 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.
