The MTA is excited to announce our first-ever Open Data Challenge!
This month-long competition invites community members, developers,
and data enthusiasts to harness the power of MTA's open data.
Participants will develop a project that creatively utilizes at least
one MTA open dataset.

Whether you're passionate about transportation, technology, or urban
planning, this is your chance to dig deeper into MTA's open data and
make a meaningful impact.

Prize

The winner will receive a vintage New York City Transit item from our
memorabilia collection. Additionally, the winning project will be
featured in a blog post on our Data & Analytics Blog, as well as on
the MTA's social media accounts.

Guidelines and submission

All projects must use at least one MTA dataset on data.ny.gov. See a
full list of MTA open datasets.

Projects of any medium are welcome. Examples include a web app,
static data visualization, a map, written report, or piece of art. If

post for project ideas. We are excited to see how you will use our
open data!
