The Rudin Center for Transportation Policy and Management today released their newest publication, Getting Started with Open Data: A Guide for Transportation Agencies. 

Here’s what you need to know:

• This guide is intended to result in streamlined use of transportation services and promote a productive dialogue between agencies and their constituents.
• It is being released as a living document, intended for input from both transportation data owners and users, to result in the most complete open transportation data guide possible.
