    Agencies Sharing Their Work at Open Data Week

    Two dozen City and governmental agencies presented during Open Data Week 2026! Through workshops, panel discussions, demonstrations, and more, representatives from these agencies engaged with curious New Yorkers to provide insight on how their city functions. While there were too many events to summarize, here is a taste of just a few.

    The Mayor’s Office of Food Policy (MOFP) shared some insight on how New Yorkers grow, purchase, and learn about food during their event, From Static to Dynamic: A Preview of NYC’s Interactive Food Policy Dashboard. MOFP showed how they transformed their Food Metrics Report into an interactive dashboard. The tool, now enhanced by attendee feedback, will be released this summer but everyone in attendance got a sneak peek! 

    The Department of Records Information and Services (DORIS) showcased how anyone can use the Digital Collections of the NYC Municipal Archives to find information about their family members who used to live or work in New York, dating back to the 1700s! Their event, What's New for Family History, featured notable New Yorkers like Ella Fitzgerald and Thurgood Marshall as examples.  Attendees got to see the many ways folks of the past leave their legacy, including voter registration, work papers, and property and tax documents. 

    With its variety of data sources and many passionate consumers, transportation is always a major Open Data Week theme. This year, the NYC Department of Transportation (DOT) and the Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) hosted events together, including an opportunity to hear from transportation data experts and a transportation professional  happy hour.
