3:15 PM – 4:15 PM · From Silos to Solutions: Using AI to Get Instant
Answers from Your Data, Robert King Room, Lobby Level Tower 401
Transit agencies generate massive amounts of data every day, but for many leaders, finding
a simple answer feels impossible. Important information is often trapped in disconnected
systems, requiring time-consuming exports and long waits just to get basic insights.
This session will explore a practical approach to solving this common challenge.
Drawing on recent conversations with dozens of transit executives, we will discuss why
tearing down data silos is the critical first step to modernizing agency operations. We will
also look at how unifying this information allows leaders to harness the power of AI—
transforming complex data into a system where you can simply ask a plain-English question
and get an instant, actionable answer. Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of
how to connect their systems, reduce administrative bottlenecks, and empower their teams
to make faster, more informed decisions.
