SUMMARY:Mapping For Equity & Future of The Oculus
DESCRIPTION:  \nMapping For Equity & Future of The Oculus is presented by BetaNYC. \nAbout BetaNYC: \nBetaNYC is a civic organization dedicated to improving lives in New York through civic design\, technology\, and data. We believe that all New Yorkers should be able to access information and use technology as tools for public good. When communities are empowered with modern civic tools\, residents can hold their government accountable while expanding their economic opportunities. We also partner with government agencies\, local nonprofits\, and civic actors — helping them adopt more transparent\, equitable\, and human-centered systems for the digital era. \nFor the NYC PIT Pop Up\, BetaNYC collaborated with the CUNY PIT Lab on curation\, mapping support\, and civic tech engagement. We helped design interactive exhibits\, supported hands-on data & mapping demos\, and connected local technologists and community partners to the project. \nLearn more about BetaNYC’s work: \n\nMapping for Equity (M4E) Project\nNews and Announcements

SUMMARY:Aging Out of Place: Chinatown Elderly
DESCRIPTION:Aging Out of Place is a participatory mahjong-inspired installation first selected for Data Through Design during NYC Open Data Week\, later featured in Next City News\, NYCxDesign Week\, and presented in lectures at Northwestern. Using mahjong tiles—a symbol of connection but also a gateway into the gambling addiction among Chinatown elderly— this piece reconstructs a portrait of immigration\, isolation\, and the challenges of aging in a city amid the new digital age. \nInteractive tiles are laser-etched with hand-sketches of Chinatown elders and stacked into historic eateries. Visitors shuffle and re-place tiles atop fixed NYC Open Data maps of senior-care access and gambling arrests. A storytelling zine guides participants through topics of mental health\, housing\, etc.\, as they reimagine Chinatown via participatory planning\, cultural memory\, and civic data. \nWe are excited for this project to be part of the NYC PIT Pop Up because the piece aims to drive deeper community reflection towards how we can care for elders in an ever-digitalizing society. In an era of intensifying anti-immigrant rhetoric and rapid erasure of ethnic enclaves\, showcasing this work among civic technologists and public-interest innovators provides an opportunity to spark new dialogues around designing with\, and for\, those who are aging out of societal purview. \nRead more about Aging Out of Place\, here. \nAging Out of Place is a project by Michelle Hui\, Cornell Tech. \nAbout Michelle Hui: \nMichelle Hui is pursuing a Master’s in Urban Technology at Cornell Tech and has worked on bringing new mobility solutions to market at Alphabet and the United Nations. She is a technologist\, researcher\, and artist whose projects span low-cost medical hardware\, urban air quality algorithms\, and participatory art. Driven by her Cantonese American identity and passion for urban and climate tech\, Michelle uses data storytelling and design to reimagine cities and elevate marginalized voices.

SUMMARY:NYC Poop Map
DESCRIPTION:  \nPooping is one of the most natural acts for all creatures; poop is a trace of what is consumed every day. However\, in New York City\, poop is more. It is everywhere and has become an unignorable icon of the city itself. If poop symbolizes NYC\, how might we reimagine it in a creative and even revolutionary way? \nNYC Poop Map is a web-based crowdsourced platform where New Yorkers can mark and document the poop they encounter in the city. While inspired by Human Wasteland\, which visualized waste in San Francisco\, this project shifts the focus toward reimagining everyday waste as a site of community\, belonging\, and connection. By mapping something as universal yet stigmatized as poop\, it challenges how we view the flaws of our shared home and reframes them as opportunities for dialogue and collective imagination. \nWe are excited to include this project because we aim to inspire New Yorkers to rethink what can be designed from something our community is infamous for\, and to show how digital platforms can transform mundane traces into shared community space. Using humor and participatory design\, we aim to provoke conversation about new ways of reconnecting with our community. \nNYC Poop Map is a project created by Yu Lee and Mumu Li.

SUMMARY:ACE and the Race to Class: Improving Bus Speeds for CUNY Students
DESCRIPTION:  \nACE and the Race to Class: Improving Bus Speeds for CUNY Students investigates how New York City’s Automated Camera Enforcement (ACE) program can improve bus speeds and reduce chronic lateness for CUNY students. Using MTA bus data and machine learning models\, we discovered that ACE implementation increases bus speeds by 10.1% on CUNY routes—yet only 16.7% of CUNY bus routes currently benefit from this program. \nThrough classification models and nearest-neighbor matching\, the project identified that Manhattan and Brooklyn have the slowest bus speeds\, with some routes averaging below 7mph during peak hours. The analysis revealed that 46.7% of ACE violations come from repeat offenders\, with emergency vehicles being among the highest violators despite their exempt status. \nACE and the Race to Class addresses a critical equity issue: over 50% of CUNY students report being late to class due to bus delays\, directly impacting their education. By recommending specific routes (M9\, B11\, Q34) for ACE expansion and proposing policy changes around exempt vehicle monitoring\, the project demonstrates how data science can drive actionable solutions that improve daily life for working-class students navigating NYC’s complex transit system. This project exemplifies using technology to advocate for underserved communities and inform evidence-based policy decisions. View the project’s github page\, here. \nACE and the Race to Class is presented by Data Sultans (Furkan Ay\, Maida Kucevic\, and Efe Aslanertik).

SUMMARY:Co-op Ride: Driver-Owned Rideshare for NYC
DESCRIPTION:Co-op Ride is a driver-owned rideshare platform launched by The Drivers Cooperative in New York City to provide a community-based alternative to Uber and Lyft. Through the app\, drivers earn more on each trip\, and profits go back to drivers. The co-op is now launching a new platform\, which can be used by riders to look up their polling location and book a trip to the polls in the upcoming election. \nCo-op Ride is presented by The Drivers Cooperative: \nDr. Erik Forman\, Co-Founder\, CUNY Graduate Center Alum\nKen Lewis\, Co-Founder\, CUNY City College Alum \nAbout The Drivers Cooperative: \nThe Drivers Cooperative brings the future into the present\, with a real\, actual driver-owned rideshare app that New Yorkers can use to hail a ride. We are the largest “platform cooperative” in the United States\, with over 12\,000 drivers recruited since 2021. Our work is rooted in critical traditions to envisioning and materializing post-capitalist futures.
