MobilityData, a Montreal based nonprofit organization, stewards key transportation data standards – including the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) the de facto standard for representing transit passenger information. Executive Director Eric Plosky will speak about MobilityData’s role in the public transit ecosystem, his vision for the future, and our roles in facing the challenges before us.

This month join us for a special event to celebrate the one year anniversary of Torched's local reporting on how megaevents will shape LA's transportation policy. These events will potentially bring millions of more passengers to our local transit systems. Alissa Walker will join us to help moderate Q&A after our speaker presentation.
