In January 2023 the Department of Transport created a new Data and Analytics Division (DAAD). The division was created to ensure optimal use of the Department’s data holdings, those of its agencies and other relevant data to inform and evaluate policy. The division is also responsible for ensuring the Department contributes to the National Data Infrastructure (NDI) and to public sector open data initiatives.
The purpose of this data strategy is to layout the intended strategic insights the Department plans to gain from data and to describe the operating model, governance structures, technology, skills, and organisational change required to achieve these.
