Description:
The Arizona Department of Transportation (ADOT) is exploring the need for a Data Management Office (DMO) to enhance data governance. This includes creating a Chief Data Officer and a Geographic Information Officer to improve data management. ADOT aims to access key data, define the office structure, develop job roles, and create a business plan. The research will evaluate the feasibility and benefits of this initiative for ADOT.
Goal:
The primary objective of this study is to understand how the U.S. Department of Transportation (USDOT), state Departments of Transportation (DOTs), and county DOTs have developed, organized, staffed, and implemented a data governance policy and a Data Management Office within their organizations and to explore the overall viability of one for ADOT.
