Understanding the State of the System: Walking through our data hub for better transportation advocacy
With more than $1.5 trillion invested in U.S. transportation since 1991, the need for clear, accessible data on outcomes has never been greater. Too often, communities and advocates struggle to track how decisions are made, what gets prioritized, and whether investments are delivering on promises of safety, repair, and equity. Join Transportation for America for a webinar exploring our State of the System (SOS) interactive data hub, a new tool designed to bring transparency to decades of transportation spending.
Transportation decisions shape daily life, from the safety of our streets to the strength of our economy. Yet too often, advocates and community leaders struggle to access clear, reliable information about where money is going and what outcomes it produces. Our State of the System (SOS) data hub brings transparency to decades of federal and state investments, helping advocates hold decision-makers accountable and push for smarter, more equitable transportation policies. Join us for our upcoming webinar on Sept. 24 at 12 p.m. ET to learn more about the SOS
At this webinar, together we will:
- Explore the types of data available, including repair and maintenance, safety, and investment and spending, with both national and state-level insights.
- Learn how to navigate the hub, export tables and charts in formats like CSV, PDF, or image, and compare states or national trends with ease.
- Discover how you can use the data to shape well-informed advocacy strategies, whether you’re writing reports, informing stakeholders, or engaging with elected officials.
