How do we get local governments to use data to inform policy and decisions? Here is an example of how we can use data to mitigate pedestrian crashes. -
I’m a part of a team that is taking public data for the City of Albany, analyzing it, and turning the analysis into stories that inform our community. We publish this analysis and stories on the website, Albany Data Stories. These data-driven stories address housing, budgets, crime, pedestrian safety and more.

Have you ever had a question that you wanted to answer about your government or your community where data might help you answer the question? You’re contemplating “how bad is the City’s crime rate, is it increasing or decreasing?”, “Are streets getting safer for pedestrians?”, “Is our Town in a better financial position than 5 years ago?”
