Just yesterday we launched an innovation contest in Washington DC to build a citizen driven 311 service platform.

Apps for Democracy "Community Edition" (http://www.appsfordemocracy.org) is taking place between now and the end of June with $35,000 in prizes...for the best solution to 311 service request submissions.

The city is releasing a API for developers to use and our insights phase is open http://insights.appsfordemocracy.org.

What do you think?

WMATA just announced the availability of its schedule and route information on its website:
