Data and Digital Services Portfolio

The California Department of Transportation (Caltrans)’s Division of Data and Digital Services (DDS) is a group of data analysts and scientists who analyze transportation data, such as General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data, or data from funding programs such as the Active Transportation Program. We work in close collaboration with the California Integrated Travel Project (Cal-ITP), supporting the state of California's climate and equity goals by improving the transit rider experience. Our goal is to transform messy and indecipherable original datasets into usable, customer-friendly products to better the transportation landscape.
