Come filled with all of your questions! Hear us cover what day-to-day life is like in the Mayor's Office of Data Analytics supporting the largest city in the country, what we’ve learned through the years, what skills and experiences are keys to success working on a government analytics team, and what exciting plans we have for the months and years to come.
Codified in the New York City Charter in December 2018, the Mayor’s Office of Data Analytics (MODA) helps City agencies use data to deliver services more equitably and effectively, and to increase operational transparency. MODA’s work, in partnership with agencies, touches on a wide variety of areas including: public safety, education, emergency management, transportation, physical infrastructure, and economic development. MODA is also responsible for implementing the New York City Open Data Law, the most ambitious and comprehensive open data legislation in the country. MODA partners with the Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications to manage the City’s Open Data program, which has over 2,300 publicly available datasets and 30,000 weekly users, and achieve Open Data for All, the Mayor’s vision to maximize New Yorkers’ engagement with City data.
