The goal of projects like this (I have no contact with this one) is usually to convince politicians and/or the public of their results, and those groups are the ones to actually push change.

Most people using the data seem to be using it locally; when policies are changed, they are changed locally. If the changes make a positive impact, sometimes other departments or governing bodies take notice. I’d like to aim higher than a quotable statistic for a politician, in any case :)
