Eric Plosky, our speaker for the day, asks the difficult, important questions.

“SO WHAT?”

Eric, our speaker, in front of a lectern, speaking, with his presentation slide behind him reading: "So what?" How to measure impact: very difficult! • It's always been hard to measure these things: proxy measures • Data may be proprietary (e.g., consumers) • Our current KPis # of datasets, members, geography, etc.) • More ambitious: • Additional measures for take-up of standards & tools - Increased transit/other ridership-related numbers • Market for hardware, software, services • "Social policy" (as hard as ever) - "New stuff"?

Eric: “a standard that doesn’t work for everyone is.. not a standard!”

Eric, at the lectern, with this slide presentation behind: Who needs to be involved? • Data producers, creating information about systems and services: transport agencies, one-van shuttles, consultants generating data for operators (and, soon, Al-based data synthesizers?) • Data consumers, providing the interface to users: startups, sector-specific orgs., data producers themselves, or tech companies • Users: travelers - and operators/managers - and potential users • Developers coming up with new stuff: new features within specs... and new systems and services using data and standards

As always - a must read from @awalkerinla.bsky.social from torchedla

How can LA's state representatives simultaneously paint themselves as the nationwide face of the resistance for the next three years *and* be unable to have a frank discussion with LA28 about how they plan to deliver these megaevents when many Angelenos are too terrified to leave their own homes?
The elephant in the room
Our elected officials keep trying to pretend this presidential administration isn't going to blow up our best-laid megaevent plans
