SUMMARY:Mapping Emergency Food Needs in NYC
DESCRIPTION:Each year\, NYC community-based organizations and City government work to supply millions of pounds of food directed toward people in need through the Community Food Connection Program. Determining how to distribute limited resources to where they are needed the most\, the city leverages data-driven approaches to bring food to those in need using the Supply Gap Analysis. In this workshop\, you’ll learn how data insights can shape decision-making\, collaboration\, and support organizers like you to make more informed decisions that facilitate food security for our communities. \nLed by Ora Kemp and Lauren Drumgold from the NYC Mayor’s Office of Food Policy\, this session will include insights from the Mayor’s Office for Economic Opportunity & Community Food Connection administrators\, whose work supports over 700 food pantries and soup kitchens across the city\, leveraging insights from the supply gap analysis in areas of unmet need. \nIdeal for food security advocates\, academics\, students\, data analysts and anyone else interested in food-related issues and data\, the workshop will provide answers to questions about neighborhood food security metrics\, how need for emergency food is defined and measured\, and how to leverage the dataset to support neighborhood and/or organizational strategies to close the gap. You will have a chance to interact with the Emergency Food Supply Gap dataset using NYC Open Data tools to pose your own strategic insights to support food security.

SUMMARY:The Newest New Yorkers: How Immigrant Groups Navigate Visa Pathways
DESCRIPTION:New York is a city of immigrants\, but its makeup is shaped by U.S. immigration laws. Join Donnise Hurley\, a senior geographic analyst at the New York City Department of City Planning\, for a preview of the upcoming publication of The Newest New Yorkers\, 2026 where she analyzes federal data from the Office of Homeland Security Statistics (OHSS) to reveal the hidden impact of immigration policy on New York City’s demographic landscape. You will receive a snapshot of the lawful permanent resident (i.e.\, “green card”) categories most used by foreign-born groups during the 2010s and see how these admission patterns have shifted over time. You will also gain clarity on the difference between OHSS administrative data on lawful permanent residents and the more familiar U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey (ACS) data on the characteristics of the foreign-born population overall. Whether you are a New Yorker curious about your community or a researcher\, librarian\, or policymaker\, this talk offers insight into how the law sets the parameters for immigration flows to the city.

SUMMARY:What 13 Million 311 Complaints Reveal About New York City's Quality of Life
DESCRIPTION:In this session\, David Tussey — retired technology executive and former executive director in the NYC Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications (DoITT\, now OTI) — presents a data-driven Quality of Life Index built entirely from NYC’s 311 Service Request open dataset. Drawing on more than 13 million complaint records spanning 2020 through 2025\, the analysis tracks 30 complaint categories across five quality-of-life domains — from shelter conditions and neighborhood cleanliness to street safety and social distress — and measures how each has changed relative to a pre-established baseline. The methodology\, developed with guidance from mentor Dr. Jun Yan of the University of Connecticut Department of Statistics\, applies seasonally adjusted indexing and Statistical Process Control techniques to surface meaningful trends in public service demand. \nParticipants will see a live walkthrough of the analytical pipeline built in R using NYC Open Data\, including data preparation\, index computation\, and publication-ready visualizations. The session is part demonstration\, part methodology discussion\, and part provocation — the findings raise real questions about urban quality of life that city agencies\, policymakers\, and engaged New Yorkers will want to wrestle with. \nThis session is ideal for city employees working in technology or data roles\, academics and students interested in applied urban analytics\, and anyone curious about what 311 data can reveal when you look beyond individual complaints. No prior technical background is required to follow the findings\, though data practitioners will find the methodology discussion valuable. Attendees are encouraged to come with questions.

SUMMARY:How NYC Open Data Guided a Review of Initiatives to Improve Bus Speeds in New York City
DESCRIPTION:Buses are the second-most important mode of transportation for New Yorkers and visitors alike\, serving over 1.4 million riders daily. Yet\, to no one’s surprise\, they can be frustratingly slow. Traffic congestion\, construction detours\, double-parked vehicles\, and limited dedicated infrastructure all contribute to sluggish bus speeds. In early 2025\, the New York City Independent Budget Office (IBO) released a report analyzing city and state initiatives aimed at improving bus speeds\, including one of the most ambitious efforts—the New York City Streets Plan. Enacted in 2019 through City Council legislation\, the plan legally requires the NYC Department of Transportation to expand the city’s bus lane network\, with a goal of building over 150 miles of protected bus lanes by 2026. \nIn this presentation\, IBO budget and policy analyst Jan Mendez will guide attendees through some of the report’s biggest findings\, including how New York City bus speeds compare to other major cities across the United States\, bus ridership trends\, a historical analysis of bus speeds across the five boroughs\, the impact of funding and staffing challenges on implementation of the New York City Streets Plan\, and more! We’ll also explore an interactive map with data on all New York City bus lanes\, available to the public and created by the Independent Budget Office. \nThe New York City Independent Budget Office provides impartial\, nonpartisan information and analysis of the NYC budget\, and conducts policy research and analysis\, particularly on aspects of City government with notable fiscal and direct human impacts on New Yorkers. If you’re interested in a complex and analytical discussion on bus speeds and bus service\, or in transportation issues in general\, we invite you to attend!
