Transit Techies NYC makes its next stop. Doors will open at 6:30pm! We will have light refreshments & pizza. We'll do the normal dance of eat + mingle, listen + present, mingle + leave.

Speakers
=========
Sunny Ng will open the night talking about how he built goodservice.io & how it can detect delays & issue alerts faster than MTA-issued alerts.
Samara Trilling, Sidewalk Labs' accessibility lead, will walk us through their recently-released digital & physical Accessibility Principles. These principles were development in collaboration with the Toronto accesibility community & include things from wayfinding experiences in public parks, to accessible ways of hailing AVs, to the infrastructure needed to support new assistive technologies.
Will Geary will explore Wayfinder3D, an application he built which fetches route recommendations from the Google Maps API & plots them on a 3D globe. This will be Will's second time presenting at Transit Techies NYC.
Eric Goldwyn will wrap up the night by presenting his work on a redesign of the Brooklyn bus network he built with fellow transit-expert Alon Levy. Their redesign focused on improving average bus speeds & included extensive analysis of BusTime, ridership, & land-use data.

As always, after the speakers we'll open the floor to announcements anyone might have.
