National Transport Hackathon
The Youth for Public Transport (Y4PT) is a global network that brings together young people interested in issues of access and quality of urban mobility. In 2017, the Colombian chapter of this organization convened the first National Hackathon for Transportation. For three full days, any interested citizen could register and participate in the development of technological solutions for mobility challenges in several cities across the country: Bogotá, Medellín, Barranquilla, Cali, Pereira and Bucaramanga. Some 35 volunteers participated and another 40 people carried out the mentoring or participated in the jury.

Mode of Selection of Participants: is the innovation open to all participants, access is restricted to some kind of condition, or both methods apply?
Type of participants: those who participate are individual citizens, civil society organizations, private stakeholders or a combination of those?
