Description
Hack My Ride: VTA’s Transportation Idea Jam will convene programmers, developers, artists, technologists, data analysts, commuters and transit users to imagine how transportation could work better in Silicon Valley.
Participants in the October 25 and 26 event at the Tech Museum of Innovation will be challenged to develop innovative software, technology, prototypes or proofs of concept that would improve the transit experience, increase transit use, or solve transportation and mobility challenges. VTA will ask participants to look at all areas of transportation, not only public transit but also walking, cycling, car sharing, paratransit, and traffic congestion more broadly.
For information about prizes and rules, please visit hackmyride.challengepost.com. To enter into the event, you must have an Eventbrite ticket first and then register on Challengepost.
To help with the hacking, VTA will provide transportation data through our beta open data portal at data.vta.org.
