Within recent years, Mayor Fischer has made it an objective of Louisville (KY) Metro to become a more compassionate and equitable place to live. In fact, that pledge actually goes back as early as at least 2011. Since then, the city has taken significant steps towards becoming a more compassionate place to live.
Learn and Grows are classes taught by The Office of Performance Improvement (OPI) staff to teach employees techniques that will improve the efficiency of Louisville Metro Government as a whole. What is the Data Academy? The Data Academy is a new addition to this program, which aims to improve the services that Louisville residents receive and saves taxpayer dollars.

Co-ran our first internal hackathon focused on Waze data.
After Louisville became the 5th US city to be part of the Waze CCP program, we started collecting the shared real-time, anonymized traffic data from Waze users. When Metro processed this data and ingested it into a database, our Office of Civic Innovation immediately saw the data's inherent value and knew it could benefit departments and improve the lives of our citizens.
