TransitData 2026: International Symposium on Public Transit Automated Data

TransitData 2026: International Symposium on Public Transit Automated Data is the premier forum for researchers and practitioners who use automatically collected transit data — from smartcard transactions and AVL systems to GTFS feeds and mobile data — to improve the planning, operation, and equity of public transportation systems. The symposium bridges academia, transit agencies, and technology providers.

Topics include passenger demand modeling, real-time operations analytics, data governance and privacy, fare policy analysis, service planning optimization, AI for predictive maintenance, transit equity and accessibility, and the integration of emerging mobility data sources. Transportation engineers, urban planners, data scientists, and transit agency analysts will find TransitData 2026 an exceptionally focused and applied venue. The symposium is unique in centering the operational realities of transit agencies alongside cutting-edge analytical methods.
