Reported NYC vs walkMapper

* Winner of the 2015 NYC Big Apps “Vision Zero” Big Idea Challenge "This is going to potentially save lives. This is a profoundly important new tool that's going to help people in a profound way." -- NYC Mayor Bill DeBlasio Thanks for using Reported to submit 311 complaints about NYC taxis, Ubers, cars, trucks and buses to help make the streets safer for passengers, pedestrians and cyclists. Reported lets you submit official 311 complaints about NYC taxis, cars, trucks, and buses in 30 seconds. Reported submits directly to NYC's 311 system and the NYC Taxi and Limousine Commission (if appropriate). We want to make our streets safer for pedestrians, cyclists and passengers and hold dangerous drivers accountable. If you have any questions or feedback, please email reportedapp@gmail.com or visit us online at www.reported.nyc.

The Walkmapper mobile app makes it easy for pedestrians to report problems or request new street features on the go, while increasing their chances to get a resolution. The app streamlines and automates the complex process activists must go through to get any issue resolved. Walkmapper allows the user to report 71 street conditions that a pedestrian may encounter on the sidewalk, at the curb or in the crossing. Many of them cannot be reported today on 311, and even fewer from a mobile phone. Visual symbols and pictures makes the tool accessible to a diverse population. By giving the option to capture multiple complaints and then submit them later at the end of the day, Walkmapper facilitates street audits. Walkmapper empowers users to escalate problems to elected officials, social media and others. Complaints can be easily resent, to ensure that City agencies will respond, thus increasing the chances to get a resolution. Walkmapper on the web is an analysis tool: it provides aging of complaints, shows surrounding 311 or Walkmapper complaints on a map, and allows downloads of complaints, further assisting in the Street audits.
