The Polis Traffic Efficiency & Mobility Working Group has been working on the topic of open transport data for more than eighteen months, with the aim of sharing information among Polis members on local experiences of publishing transport data, lessons learned and future plans.
 
Polis has now issued its position paper, detailing the knowledge shared and the insight gained into the fast evolving area of open data, which has enabled it to produce informed recommendations to the 1690 European Commission in relation to future European action in the area of transport data, specifically the ITS Directive.
 
The position paper provides an overview of the many different aspects of transport data: why transport authorities use data; access to data; open data experiences; data formats and data quality. The paper concludes with recommendations to the European Commission in relation to the ITS Directive.
