Apps for Democracy 2 Wraps
Version 2 of DC crowdsourcing initiative to better serve its constituents saw its final submissions come in last night. In this version the community determined what sorts of apps were needed and developers were then asked to address them. Then, there’s options for more funding. The results of phase 2 are here.
Government folks (D.C. Department of Transportation, the Office of Planning and the office of the city’s CTO) took on one request themselves: developing a “Where’s My Bus?” app. It details the five route Circulator Buses. A commercial option for that NextBus is back up and running, but having some issues, per the Washington Post.
