SUN CLOUD MEGAREGIONAL DATA PORTAL

Take-Away: The presentation equips attendees with an understanding of the portal and shares practical use cases of the portal’s data and tools.

Description: The Arizona Sun Cloud Data Portal is a repository for transportation datasets for the Sun Corridor region - Cochise, Maricopa, Pima, Pinal, and Santa Cruz counties. More than your average database, the Portal incorporates unique equity, broadband, access, safety, environmental, and mobility datasets to help rural/ suburban/urban communities make meaningful transportation decisions. Tools within the portal help streamline needs assessment, generate performance metrics, and aid in prioritizing needs using a customizable set of scoring criteria. For small/medium-sized communities with limited staff, the Portal reduces workloads, removes barriers to data/technology, and provides access to rich data often available to only larger agencies.
