Welcome to the 2026 GIS in Action Annual Conference hosted by the Oregon & SW Washington Chapter of the Geospatial Professional Network & Cascadia ASPRS.
The "Data Equity in Transportation Safety" Story Map on Metro’s Safe Streets for All hub provides readers with a data equity context for regional crash information and dashboards. Using crash data, narrative elements, and accessible visualizations, it highlights both what we know - and what we lack - about how people with different mobility and access needs move through transportation systems. This lightning talk will cover approaches for visualizing incomplete datasets, using “data visceralization” to convey lived experience, and treating data stewardship as an evolving practice. Attendees will gain strategies for communicating uncertainty and centering equity in spatial storytelling.
