AI & Data Governance in Transportation

Posted: 4/6/2026

WEBINAR: April 10, 2026, 11:00AM - 12:30PM PT

The Transportation Research Board (TRB) presents Artificial Intelligence & Data Governance in Transportation, a free 90-minute webinar that examines how AI is being applied across transportation systems.

As agencies seek to harness AI to enhance safety, strengthen system performance, and support data-driven decision-making, the need for reliable data and clear governance frameworks is increasingly urgent. From identifying potential security risks at airports to predicting high-risk roadway locations and detecting trespassers along rail corridors, strong data governance is foundational to these efforts.

Presenters will share case studies highlighting successes, challenges, and lessons learned as they advance AI-readiness and strengthen data governance in an evolving environment.

Presenters:

  • Jesse Newberry, HNTB
  • Gregory Ciparelli, Connecticut DOT
  • Benjamin McCulloch, Texas DOT
  • Jennifer Volkening, Utah DOT
  • Joel Jundt, South Dakota DOT

Learning Objectives:

  • Explain what a data literacy plan is and why it is important for organizations
  • Describe the core principles that a data governance program can be governed by
  • Describe the risks to organizations when they do not address data governance issues
