Code For America Detroit Fellows launched Text My Bus, a simple app that uses SMS messaging to provide real-time bus arrival information to Detroit residents. The app was developed in collaboration with the Detroit Department of Transportation and community groups, and has improved the lives of students and developers alike by saving them from waiting hours for buses. The Code For America team is now working on other civic challenges in Detroit, such as increasing access to city property records and promoting community engagement, with the goal of empowering local coders to build apps that make a positive impact.
