Development of a Formalized Process for the Adoption, Development, Maintenance, and Enhancement of TransXML Schemas Workshop

TRB sponsored a workshop on the Future of TransXML on Decmber 11, 2013 in Washington, D.C.

Transportation agencies have recognized the value of Extensible Markup Language (XML), and are developing their own XML formats or “schemas” to facilitate data exchange across applications. TransXML provides an open, vendor-neutral format for storing, exchanging, and archiving data.

The workshop engaged both transportation agency and industry stakeholders, including the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials’ Joint Technical Committee on Electronic Engineering Data (JTCEED), to understand steps that could expand the use of TransXML among transportation agencies.

TRB Special Report 304: How We Travel: A Sustainable National Program for Travel Data assesses the current state of travel data at the federal, state, and local levels and defines an achievable and sustainable travel data system that could support public and private transportation decision making. The committee that developed the report recommends the organization of a National Travel Data Program built on a core of essential passenger and freight travel data sponsored at the federal level and well integrated with travel data collected by states, metropolitan planning organizations, transit and other local agencies, and the private sector.
