February 19: Subway Stories: Building an Award-Winning Visualization with Transit Data

RSVP BELOW!

We have another transit talk, this time with maps, from Jediah Katz and Marc Zitelli.

Thank you to NYU for hosting us.

Everybody attending must RSVP through the registration form at nyhackr. There is a charge for in-person and virtual tickets are free. Space is extremely limited and in-person registration closes at 3 PM the day of the talk.

About the Talk:Subway Stories (subwaystories.nyc) is a data visualization and journalistic work that uses the MTA’s open data to illustrate the transit patterns that animate New York City. Developed for the inaugural MTA Open Data Challenge, the project was honored as the Most Creative entry by the MTA and showcased at the New York Transit Museum.

Learn how we built a custom, highly-responsive map app; support blazing-fast queries to the MTA’s largest open dataset; make complex data accessible to the public; and host the whole thing for free!*

*Well, we’re paying for the domain name.
