Multi-Modal Show & Tell
Details
Though WMATA is seen as handling the bulk of the DC region's transit, there are many other smaller transit systems. Ideally, apps should be able to integrate all the systems to make it easier for riders to navigate the region using public transportation. We'll hear from engineers and programmers behind TransitScreen (http://transitscreen.com/), RideScout (http://www.ridescoutapp.com/), Redmon (http://www.redmon.com/), OneBusAway (http://oba.mobilitylab.org/), and others who have created tools and visualizations that aggregate data from multiple transit systems.
