This data is useful if you are a data scientist, but for citizens without this training it has little value.We partnered with the Los Angeles Department of Neighborhood Empowerment and LA Neighborhood Councils to co-create and iterate analysis and tools (see 311-Data.org) to provide neighborhoods with actionable information at the local level through real time visualizations and comparison tools.Neighborhood Councils are able to use visualizations to demonstrate and discuss the city service levels with constituents and determine where to send mailings to target information to those parts of their community not availing themselves of specific city services.The City of Los Angeles generates data from a subset of 311 tickets.

To ensure that citizens are empowered advocates of their community, we are looking to identify the areas where data literacy education within our communities is needed most.Hack for LA’s Access the Data team, in partnership with the Los Angeles Department of Neighborhood Empowerment, Neighborhood Councils, and the Los Angeles Mayor’s office, will be developing modules to address those areas.Citizens will be empowered to advocate for change in their communities by using publicly available data and asking for data to be made available when it is required for advocacy.Concerned community leaders wish to better utilize the wide range of government data (from different jurisdictions and departments) in their advocacy. This requires users to find and stitch together data from many sources. Government-managed data sites assume a level of technical proficiency, but generally provide no resources on how to model and understand problems through data sets.FALSEIn partnership with the Los Angeles Department of Neighborhood Empowerment, Neighborhood Councils, and Mayor’s Office, Access the Data is developing learning modules to help Angelenos better locate, combine, interpret, and utilize government data and data tools.FALSEAccess the Data aims to cultivate data-literate community members who will be empowered to advocate for change using publicly available data.FALSEEvaluate which version of PSI we want to use

With only eight states having explicit language about ballot drop boxes written into their laws, while some states clearly detail ballot drop-off locations, most leave it up to the local jurisdiction to disseminate this information. As some counties, towns, parishes, etc. do not have websites, many voters have no reliable source to confirm where and when to return their ballots.

Each new civic tech organization starts from scratch, using a large amount of resources (expertise, time, money, momentum, and initiative), often leaving not enough for the stages that follow. Those that do continue past the initial stages often continue to struggle with scaleability, knowledge transfer and retention.

The biggest hurdle to the community's overall success is that there is no scalable way to share resources, and find useful models/guidance to build from, across people, time and organizations.
FALSEFor the open source civic tech community, the BOP project aims to create a report with state-of-the-industry guidance on 22 topic areas of immediate concern to the communities health.The report will present a direction to grow the recorded knowledge in these topic areas, size of audience and needs hierarchy for each topic area and assets to share (found during the exhaustive comparative analysis and Code for America Brigade interviews).FALSEThe BOP project will help the Civic Tech and Tech for Social Good volunteer communities drive conversations about how to achieve better, more productive outcomes, and facilitate improvement on identified pain points and proficiencies.FALSE

The longer the project length the harder it is to retain volunteers, and maintain software delivery velocity.

#N/AParking citations are distributed unevenly across different socio-economic strata of the city's residents as they use public parking during the course of business or because enough off-street parking is not provided at their residence. The current publicly available Los Angeles parking citation dataset can be used as a basis for discussions about this disparity, but the unwieldy size and inconsistency of this data has been enough of a barrier to make it inaccessible to non-researchers.Hack for LA’s Lucky Parking project seeks to map the 12.5 million parking citations on a web app that is easy to use yet powerful enough to make meaningful insights about parking citations accessible to the public at large. Our project seeks to educate and inform city leaders and the community about the effects of Los Angeles’ parking policies, hopefully serving as a tool in discussing more equitable solutions to our transportation problems.FALSEFALSEFALSEEvaluate if this version on website is ok
