«Standards and Regulation in Practice: Delivering Better Data for Nordic Travellers»

How can public transport authorities and operators turn EU regulation and data standards into real value for their services and passengers? How can NeTEx/SIRI and GTFS/GBFS work together in practice to leverage the spirit of the MMTIS Delegated Regulation? How can we go further than “just compliance” and take advantage of standards to empower PTAs and PTOs to have more control over their data, improve service delivery, and make integration with national and global solutions easier?

This session brings together experts from CEN, NAPCORE, National Access Points, and the global open data community to discuss their perspectives on all of these questions. With insights from NAPCORE’s European coordination and the June MobilityData workshop in Paris, they will debate the topics of how harmonized standards and collaboration lead to better data for journey planners, support sustainable travel, and enable stronger digital services.

This session aims to be interactive and open for all who are interested in shaping the future of public transport data in the Nordics and beyond
