In March 2013, we launched a beta-test version of the MyStreetSF interactive map. The map shows all projects currently underway that are funded by, or prioritized for funding by the SFCTA. The MyStreetSF interactive map allows you to search for projects by location, Supervisorial District, project type (e.g., bicycle, pedestrian safety, transit rehabilitation), project sponsor, or timeline. Click on a project on the map to see key information (e.g., short description, schedule, cost) and a link to the project page and/or project sponsor’s main page. The map page also includes information on city-wide projects and programs like Bicycle Education and Outreach. The map also includes a comments section that we encourage users to fill out so we can correct, refine, and improve the map.

CycleTracks uses a smartphone's GPS to record users' bicycle routes, times, and display maps of their rides. It was developed to help San Francisco transportation planners understand the trade-offs cyclists evaluate when choosing a route. Since the app can collect data anywhere a GPS signal can be found, numerous other public agencies around the world have been able to leverage data collected anonymously in their community for similar purposes.

We’ve made the source code openly available to developers under a GPL open source license, and derivatives of CycleTracks are now in use in a dozen or so other cities worldwide. READ MORE
