As organizations expand analytics and performance reporting, many are finding that their data systems are not producing results they can consistently trust or defend. TRB will host a webinar on Tuesday, September 15, 2026 from 1:00 PM to 2:30 PM Eastern that will present case studies on how state departments of transportation (DOT) are governing data systems to improve confidence in dashboards, analytics, and cross-division reporting. Presenters will share practical approaches to data ownership, lineage, and quality that help make reporting more consistent and reliable. Attendees will walk away with examples they can apply to strengthen trust in their own data.
This webinar is sponsored by TRB’s Standing Technical Committee on Data Systems and Governance.
The registration fee is $100. Purchase a webinar package for discounted pricing. Complimentary registration is available for employees of TRB sponsors, standing technical committee chairs, involved CRP panel members, media, congressional staff, and TRB or National Academies staff.

A recording will be sent to all registrants after the webinar.
