In 2021, OpenStreetMap US launched the Mapping for Impact program. Through this program OSM US partners with organizations and agencies focused on civic, social & environmental justice issues in the US to leverage OpenStreetMap data for their mission. This session will provide an update on impact made so far and how we aim to bring in wider community involvement in the program’s growth.
