Decision Making with Data: Using GPP Indicators in Public Policy Decision Making

Greater Portland Pulse is a regional indicators project designed to give policy makers access to quality data, tracked over time. Concerned that some policy makers are unsure of how to use GPP, we are designing a Policy Users Manual and a series of trainings. The manual and trainings will provide a brief overview of what GPP delivers for users by way of consistent, reliable and current data sources. It will also include case studies and instructions for using the Pulse in policy processes.
