Public- and Private-Sector Collaboration for Regional Data-Collection Programs [Workshop 1008 | 9am | January 5]

Agencies spend significant time and resources to budget for, plan for, and administer data-collection programs. This is becoming more onerous for three reasons: (1) agencies have shrinking budgets (2) the data requirements are ever-increasing, and (3) response rates are on the decline. This impacts both the way data are collected and also the number of private sector firms conducting data collection.

The workshop will comprise of three panel discussions, in which Joann will participate, and a break-out with audience participation to improve the public-private partnership in collecting travel behavior information while encouraging new ideas and new approaches.
