Google EIE could be one data source that can support cities in this journey.

The data provided by Google EIE in combination with other data sources could bring new insights to cities to advance in their sustainable energy and climate action planning processes. The Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE) uses exclusive data sources and modeling capabilities in a freely available platform to help cities and regions measure emission sources, run analyses, and identify strategies to reduce emissions. ICLEI Europe and Google have been working together to investigate how the Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE) tool can assist Cities in advancing local climate action and in achieving their local carbon reduction goals. ICLEI Europe has undertaken a comprehensive analysis of the Google Environmental Insights Explorer (EIE) tool to better understand the extent to which it can assist European cities in advancing local climate action and achieving their carbon emissions reduction goals. As part of the analysis, ICLEI Europe conducted a technical assessment of EIE’s transport data to investigate how it may be able to support cities in their efforts to reduce local-level transport emissions and promote sustainable urban mobility. Report can be found here, as well as an Overview for European Policymakers, which you can view here.
