MARTA Hackathon

Primary tabs

Do you love Atlanta? Want to help make MARTA better? 

Whether you love to code, have a passion for design, can herd cats, or just want to help out somehow, we'd love for you to be part of this exciting 24-hour challenge to create solutions to real world problems.

You'll be among the first to get your hands on robust ridership data and work directly with people and organizations from across Metro Atlanta to solve the problems they face in their daily transit adventures. 

Open to the entire community - regardless of your technology orientation. Coders, cat video enthusiasts, and wood carvers are equally embraced.

Join us for just for a few hours or come along for the entire ride! Participants will gather the first night to form teams and then work like busy bees to present their prototype solutions to a panel of esteemed judges from the community. 

More details coming your way. Register today to make sure you receive all of our updates. 

 

The MARTA Hackathon series is a yearlong strategic technology initiative led by MARTA, Sandbox ATL, Code for Atlanta, HackGT, and other community groups to help create the next great thing in Atlanta transit. This is the first of three 24-hour hackathons, semi-monthly work group sessions, and continual online interactions to create new ideas to increase ridership and improve the rider experience.
