Delaware has natural beauty and great recreational opportunities. We have parks, forests, beaches, rivers, ponds, bays and an ocean to explore and enjoy. We have roads, trails, bike routes, buses and rail to get us there. But not everyone is always able to take advantage of these opportunities. There are different reasons for this, and different ways to solve these problems. DelDOT and DNREC have come to the Open Data Challenge for help finding solutions.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

How We’ll Do It<\/h1>\n

Breaking down barriers that keep people from recreational opportunities requires help from everyone. It requires new relationships and deep citizen engagement. DelDOT and DNREC have data and information about transportation, recreation, and the environment. They want to share it. They are looking for new perspectives and new ideas through the Open Data Challenge. They hope to reward innovative ideas and choose proofs-of-concept that can be implemented to serve the community. There are a few key events that make up the Open Data Challenge: workshops, an ideation session, and a Data Jam. Each of these events are free and open to the public.<\/span><\/p>\n
