Mobility Data Interoperability Principle (MDIP) Translation Guide
- Date: September 25, 2025
Mobility Data Interoperability Principles (MDIP) promote the idea of technology that makes sharing information across softwares a more seamless process. This translation guide breaks down how parts of the principles can be used throughout the procurement process to help set up an interoperable technology suite. The guide also includes examples of contract language with important words and phrases to help enact MDIP in your next contract. For a broader overview, check out our MDIP Factsheet and for a checklist throughout your procurement process, check out our MDIP Due Diligence Checklist.
N-CATT develops these factsheets to break down large topics for transit agencies and highlight how they apply to small-urban, rural, and tribal transit systems. The goal of these resources is to keep you informed on emerging and evolving technologies and topics so you can see how they apply to your transit agency. No technology is one-size-fits-all, and so we encourage you to read this resource and think about how this topic can impact your future planning.
We encourage you to reach out with any questions about this factsheet, or any questions this resource prompts that you need additional information about. Also, please provide any feedback you have on how to make these better! You can reach us at helpdesk@n-catt.org.
