Teams worked together to use data science to advance transportation safety. The two main focuses included improving bike/pedestrian safety in our communities and improving transportation safety during extreme weather. To do this, teams had the options to analyze and work with datasets detailing bike share programs, hurricane impacts, floods, pedestrian statistics, and more.
