Evergreen Brickworks Traffic Jam Hackathon

October 2-4, 2015

On October 2-4 Evergreen CityWorks and the City of Toronto teamed up with engaged citizens, digital creatives and data detectives to fix Toronto’s traffic troubles. During the 48-hour TrafficJam, 150 Torontonians formed teams and collaborated with local traffic analysts, government officials and data collectors to brainstorm new ideas, analyze data and build tools that will kickstart the development of real solutions.
