Abstract:The legislative mandate for the National Transportation Library (NTL) includes direction to serve as the central repository for transportation information and a portal to federal transportation data. This mandate means that NTL’s Repository and Open Science Access Portal (ROSA P) is the permanent repository for publications in the USDOT Public Access Plan, a response to the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy memorandum "Increasing Access to the Results of Federally Funded Scientific Research.” ROSA P will also preserve and disseminate data and publications from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics, USDOT, and the US transportation community. The USDOT Public Access Plan further requires active management of data throughout the research lifecycle. Data management is deliberate planning, creation, storage, access and preservation of data. The NTL, in supporting public access, now offers a growing suite of data services, including implementing data management planning for federally funded transportation research. This poster highlights some tools and updates made to existing guidance to help intramural and extramural data creators employ better data management practices and comply with the USDOT Public Access Plan. The poster also includes leading edge policies and recommendations authored or employed by NTL in order to maintain pace with other state-of-the-practice data repositories. This poster was presented at the Transportation Research Board's 96th Annual Meeting in Washington, DC on January 10, 2017.
