This session explores the effort to map all 398 bus stops on the 16 FXBGO! local routes in Fredericksburg, Stafford, and Spotsylvania, Virginia. By surveying each stop, capturing images for Wikimedia Commons, and updating OpenStreetMap, this project aims to improve public transit accessibility for locals and tourists in a historically significant area. Learn how community-driven mapping can enhance transportation equity and navigation!
Speaker
A recent William & Mary graduate with a B.S. in Data Science (Spatial Analytics) and Sociology, I’ve mapped for OpenStreetMap for over two years, contributing 250+ hours just this year—and yes, I do spot unmapped sidewalks in my sleep!
