"It's a tool we didn't know we needed" - the most common thing I've heard in follow-up conversations about DART.

[Global Online Academy @GOAlearning]

Does your school rely on a LMS for learning? Explore GOA's Data Action Reporting Tool (DART): it organizes LMS data in customizable, user-friendly email reports to make student support more efficient and effective. Become an early adopter: https://t.co/HHcRp7PXIj

[Lucas Ames @LRAmes]

Love talking with people about DART because it frees up hard working educators forced to dig around a LMS/SIS for student support data and allows them to focus on what they do best: engaging students. Let's chat about this gamer changer! https://t.co/vRs4abzwfC

[Lucas Ames @LRAmes]

Loved taking a look at @GOAlearning's Catalyst Conference projects this year. Especially enjoyed this look at the student debt crisis through the lens of game theory https://t.co/hme4d2plu3 #goandchangeit

[Lucas Ames @LRAmes]

@seantubbs I agree. I can assure you it remains something we talk about regularly ...

[Lucas Ames @LRAmes]

Love it! We can learn from BT here locally. One of the more compelling elements of its service its the seamless integration of its university/fixed route/regional/demand response into one agency.

Basketball is great but never forget what Coach Thompson was off the court... a tireless and unwavering advocate for his players and for racial justice https://t.co/lIaUUaNy28

I've been spending a lot of time on regional transit these days and found this podcast to be spot on - well worth the listen https://t.co/ZB6wjGDroO

@RoryStolzenberg @seantubbs @RideWithCAT @rideJAUNT @UVAUTS @VirginiaDRPT @SmartCville Conservative estimate on the initial year was 81

[Lucas Ames @LRAmes]

Related: CAT has 0 data analysts supporting its strategic planning. A request for this role has been made and I hope Council supports the request.

[Lucas Ames @LRAmes]

Appreciate this look into our transit system. Sitting on the JAUNT board & RTP has been eye opening and I wholeheartedly agree in a more regional, less siloed approach.

[Greater Greater Washington @ggwash]

Sprawl is on the rise around Charlottsville, Virginia and more locals driving to work from far-flung counties. Now the region is seeing a renewed push for transit: https://t.co/YHYo3ApzPc

[Lucas Ames @LRAmes]

The decline in ridership noted in this article is fair but it leaves out a huge factor - CAT fareboxes do not appear to be accurately counting passengers. Obviously we have work to do but we also need a clearer picture of usage to support these changes.

[Lucas Ames @LRAmes]

Really excited about this!
