CaBi Hack Night VII

We are confirmed to be taking place at WeWork Wonderbread. Thanks to DDOT (https://ddot.dc.gov/)for loaning us a projector, and to UMD's CATT Lab (http://www.cattlab.umd.edu/) for loaning us materials for a temporary screen!

CaBi Hack Night is a show & tell of apps and data visualizations about Capital Bikeshare. Doors open at 6:30 (🍕 courtesy of our friends at Mobility Lab), with speakers starting at 7:00.

We've rounded up a great lineup (http://mvjantzen.com/meetup/cabihacknight7.html) of coders and data nerds who will share their apps, hacks, maps, and dataviz.

• Jonathan Street (http://jonathanstreet.com/) will explore how big the CaBi network is by computing the shortest route visiting all stations.

• Tracy Hadden Loh will show how she built a tool for Rails-to-Trails (http://www.railstotrails.org/) to measure level-of-service for CaBi stations in Arlington.

• James Graham from DDOT (https://twitter.com/DDOTDC) will show how he uses Python to convert CaBi's new GBFS to an ArcGIS feature class (http://maps2.dcgis.dc.gov/dcgis/rest/services/DDOT/BikeAssets/MapServer/1).

• Alex Tedeschi will show how he built a data exploration tool (http://urbica.co/citibike/) to study Citi Bike rebalancing.

• Colin K. Hughes will show how Social Bicycles (http://www.socialbicycles.com/) provides more data about cyclist behavior, and uses geo-fencing and financial incentives to minimize rebalancing.

• Daniel Gohlke and David Moskovitz will show what the tech department at Motivate (https://www.motivateco.com/) is up to.

• Michael Schade (http://mvjantzen.com) will demo his map summarizing 2016 CaBi stats (http://mvjantzen.com/cabi/2016stats.html).
