@KaroEngstrom, I added a map to our active incidents story page. Cool if I deploy this draft?
https://datahub.austintexas.gov/stories/s/Austin-Travis-County-Traffic-Report-Page/9qfg-4swh/preview
I think for the other visuals I could make a "trends" story page which could look over a longer scale.
Yes, excellent. Both sound good to me!
Made a draft trends story page showing the data by day of week, hour, month, and the most frequent types.
@Charlie-Henry Are these both ok to publish? I'd like to link to that Trends page from the main story page.
Would y'all mind reviewing what I wrote? If we're good I say we publish it and add a link on the main story
@Charlie-Henry Looking at your content, this part looks weird.
This should have an "an" instead of an "a"
I would maybe suggest sending a screen shot of this draft page to AMD (Ally, Lance) to help with the content. They're used to drafting traffic content for PIO.
Sent over to Ally/Lance for their comments. Also made Diana's suggested edits.
Made small edits (amount > number) and cleaned up the first sentence. This is a great page!
Lance/Ally suggested removing the part about traffic still not returning to normal levels post-COVID.
Changed the text to:
Since the low point during April 2020, traffic (and therefore traffic incidents) have returned back to typical levels.
Audit Requirement Notice from CTM
_As you may already be aware, in July 2023, the Office of the City Auditor released an audit report addressing data reliability on the City’s Open Data Portal._
In the report, it was recommended to the City Manager that departments interpret the most desired data with visualizations and/or data stories, in addition to providing the raw data. Therefore, departments are required to provide stories and visualizations for the most-accessed datasets.
In response to their recommendations, CTM is responsible for identifying the top three (3) most-accessed datasets on the portal on an annual basis and can assist departments with data visualizations of the top three datasets, if requested.
We have identified your dataset, “Real-Time Traffic Incident Reports” (UID: dx9v-zd7x) as the most accessed dataset for 2023.
Here are some site statistics for the dataset: 41,310 Primer pageviews (overview page) 6,987 Grid pageviews (data table or tabular view page) 1,059,706 Downloads Time period: 01/01/2023 thru 01/16/2024 To see additional web performance metrics, you can visit the portal’s web analytics dashboard.
I noticed that a story page related to the dataset already exists but is incomplete and does not interpret the data with visualizations and/or data stories. The good news is that you’re not starting from scratch. Please complete the story page with the required data visualizations/storytelling by Fri. March 1, 2024.
History of the Dataset
the dataset was based on an RSS feed published by CTM from the Oracle db until spring 2023; at that point we began to pull the data from the CTM Oracle dc directly
this dataset was audited while CTM published a story page for it (now deprecated) with the same content as our current one, with the exception of them using a 5 minute RSS feed widget over our data table at the top of the page
