#MOVID19

The German Cooperation Agency GIZ, Datasketch, Despacio and other tech-based organizations and the Bogota City Hall launched a 3-day hackathon #MOVID19 during the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic in the City of Bogota. Upon receiving access to open transport data, citizens were encouraged to develop creative mobility solutions aimed at reducing the risk of COVID-19 transmission, improving transport routes and access to public transport. The winning team developed a digital platform that reroutes transport based on user demand and on health-workers' needs to commute from their house to hospitals. Another project highlighted the importance of providing free e-bikes for health workers, which was deployed after a private company donated them.
