INSTITUTIONAL IMPEDIMENTS TO A COORDINATED DATA POLICY

This paper emphasizes the institutional impediments to a coordinated transportation data policy because that is where the dramatic changes are occurring today. Changes in regulatory processes that generate data, programmatic changes in areas that were a source of data, and most importantly, changes in the sense of scope and scale of the federal role and the federal-local, federal-private relationship--all effect the warrants for data and the needs for data. But, in many ways, the institutional side has always been the most difficult of our problems in transportation data--not the technical aspects of data collection nor the financial issues. (Author)
