Inspiration

Uptick in events related transit disruptions in Chicago are frustrating to local transit users and make navigating the city very challenging for visitors with low-transit literacy. Current service interruption information on Ventra or Google Maps apps do not represent this information (or all applicable disruptions) in an accessible way.

What it does

Visualizes how your planned transit route might overlap with events that day.

How we built it

Application built in Python Dash

Challenges we ran into

Getting geofeatures to cooperate is tough!

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Getting the app up and running.

What we learned

That we should use geopandas next time. ;)

What's next for McCormick Optimization

We would love to integrate considerations for non-point-based event disruptions, like the route of the Chicago Marathon.
