Government’s use of big data is influencing the lives of citizens in countless ways. Nowhere is this more evident than in the area of transportation, where government officials and industry leaders are teaming up to improve how citizens get from one destination to another.

In the above industry perspective, we analyze the effect of big data on transportation services in cities such as Boston, Massachusetts, Schaumburg, Illinois, and Edmonton, Alberta. We also reveal how big data is helping governments to achieve the following four goals for citizens:
