Notes

  1. Welcome

  2. Membership and decision-making procedure

  3. Collaboration purpose and scope

    • Share latest draft
    • Breakout room discussion
      • Purpose: The purpose of NC-BPAID is to advance comprehensive, public domain, interoperable data on bike, pedestrian, and accessibility infrastructure that informs decision-making on the part of individual travelers, as well as the government, private, nonprofit, and academic sectors.​
      • Scope: The scope of the NC-BPAID is limited to promoting the findability, accessibility, interoperability, and reusability (https://www.go-fair.org/fair-principles/) of bicycle, pedestrian, and accessibility infrastructure data through the development or endorsement, adoption, and widespread implementation of open standards and practices that support the efficient collection, exchange, and portability of these types of data (https://www.interoperablemobility.org/). Ultimately, the NC-BPAID should foster an independent and sustainable bicycle, pedestrian, and accessibility infrastructure data governance organization that will eventually lead the work of maintaining the specifications, soliciting representative involvement from the broad spectrum of stakeholders.
      • What do participants think about the purpose and scope?
        • We need use cases, standards, and a plan for interoperability
        • The scope is broad, but that can help cover more users
        • We need to create clear definitions for the terms used (accessibility is an important one)
        • Participants think the scope is broad for many use cases
        • Overall, people like the purpose and scope, but would like to see the above details ironed out
      • Do we adequately represent what the participants want to get out of this collaboration?
        • Many participants emphasize the need for standards and term definitions
        • People want to know what the end products are supposed to look like
          • How many end datasets, what will be included in them, etc.
          • When can we expect certain milestones to be reached?
    • Links to relevant projects were shared in the chat:
