Usage has improved for Chattanooga’s open data portal, which provides information about public safety incidents, bike trails, traffic citations and more.

The portal logged 1.3 million views in 2016, more than a million more than the previous year, according to a report for the site for the 2016 fiscal year.

“The main point is to offer transparency, provide information and engage the community,” said Tim Moreland, director of performance management and open data for the city’s information technology department.

This data portal is provided by the Chattanooga Public Library through partnership with the City of Chattanooga, as well as the Open Chattanooga Brigade.
