Challenges
CCTA faced significant challenges in efficiently storing, analyzing, and utilizing data from their transportation systems. With data scattered across different formats and systems, the absence of a centralized repository hindered comprehensive analysis and decision-making. Moreover, the lack of an analytics platform limited their ability to respond effectively to transportation issues and monitor system performance.

Its interactive and intuitive interface empowered users to explore data effortlessly, facilitating informed decision-making. Moreover, the implementation of automatic monthly updates ensured continuous monitoring and analysis, enhancing CCTA's ability to respond effectively to evolving transportation challenges.
The dashboard also incorporated additional elements such as CMP data, transportation projects, and Contra Costa 511 utilization metrics. These enhancements aim to provide CCTA with a comprehensive tool for transportation planning and decision-making.
Conclusion
