Open Tallahassee founder Shelby Green joins host Angela Eaton on our first Data Dialogues to talk about her experiences sourcing inaccessible data (we're talking "Request a CD-ROM from your local government in 2021" inaccessible...) to map traffic accidents in her Tallahassee community. Shelby Green is passionate about traffic safety — so much so that she makes a promise to her partner to get home safely every day. Shelby and Angela talk about how Shelby started Open Tallahassee and mapped every accident large and small with data from 10 years of inaccessible police reports. In Data Dialogues, we highlight two people working with environmental data and then put them in conversation with each other. Listen to Shelby's conversation on its own or pair it with Marccus Hendricks' conversation in Episode 2 or Shelby & Marccus' dialogue together in Episode 3.  You can access a transcript of this episode and Show Notes on our website and join in the conversation on Twitter @OpenEnviroData and Instagram @OpenEnviroData! Shelby Green (she/her) is the founder of Open Tallahassee, a community organization using local government data in combination with community submissions and traffic accidents, to heal, share information and, importantly, to create a Vision Zero future for her city through public participation and policy change.Angela Eaton (she/her) is the Director of Data Inclusion at Open Environmental Data  and host of Data Dialogues.
