Applications using the data include Routesy, which offers directions based on real-time city transport feeds; and EcoFinder, which points you to the nearest recycling site for a given item.
One company, SpatialKey, has created a visualisation tool that lets residents check for drug offences taking place near schools. The local data service EveryBlock, meanwhile, is helping residents track calls to , the number used for requests to fix broken streetlights, potholes, blocked drains and the like. For Purchia, the tracker is particular proof of the value of openness.
He says that while the city's initial attempts to reach out to residents through technology — mostly using social networks — were interesting, they quickly realised that such schemes would not really change local politics.
DataSF, on the other hand, could make more informed and government more accountable. For many in the US, the opening up of official information — "government 2.

The Muni is the largest transit agency in the Bay Area carrying more than million riders annually in a diverse fleet of vehicles. The DPT manages 40 City-owned garages, metered parking lots, and on-street parking.
It also manages all traffic engineering functions within San Francisco, including the placement of signs, signals, traffic striping, curb markings, and parking meters. It also has an oversight role in many of the city's transportation improvements as well as coordinating transportation enhancements with other agencies and is responsible for leading studies for future projects identified in the San Francisco Countywide Transportation Plan.
The City's TDM program was originally developed for municipal employees, but has expanded to include downtown businesses and commuters.

Table shows the project components and federal funding in the restated agreement. Each of these projects that will be considered in the national evaluation is discussed below. SF park Variable Pricing. The primary goal of SF park is to use intelligent parking management technology and techniques, in particular demand-responsive pricing, to manage the on-street and off-street parking supply and demand.
SFMTA expects this approach to reduce the number and duration of vehicle trips and reduce double parking and, thereby, reduce congestion. The parking technologies to be tested include networked parking meters, parking occupancy sensors, and parking information systems.
SF park is expected to improve SFMTA 's effectiveness in meter maintenance, enforcement, and parking management and provide travelers with better information about parking location, availability, and price to help them make more informed travel choices. See chart 1 and table A.
