+* Karen: I'm with BikeMaps.org, started out of the geography department out of the University of Victoria. It's estimated that only 30% of bike collisions are captured in the conventional data.
-*
+*In 2016 we created BikeMaps.org. It is a form of global crowd-sourcing. There is a peer review documentation online to explain their rationale in greater detail. Near misses, hazards and falls are being analyzed. The pin gets dropped down on a map; a short form pops up on screen, and an anonymous report can be submitted regarding. Collision, Near miss, Hazard, Theft. Potholes, leaves, poor signage = hazard. If something bad (almost) happens = that is a near miss.
-*
+*The website also has a data visualization page of the hazards in the area. There are apps for iOS or Android. You will receive push notifications from the app if your regular route has an obstacle or report issued.
+*They want to constantly feedback; they are not hoarding the data. It will be shared with the people who helped generate it.
+*There are about 2,800 reports so far internationally.
+*BikeMaps.org has locations in over 40 countries: Canada, US, Australia, Iceland, UK, Germany, (mostly greater Victoria).
+*We are now filling in data that has not been captured through police reports and other conventional data collection methods.
+*Did you know that is some regions, more accidents may happen on Wednesdays (for ex.). The app can then retroactively connect the weather on the given day and time of the incident report.
+*Focusing on Edmonton and Ottawa in 2016. Mapping in Edmonton since last summer. Three years of funding. So the data will be submitted in 2019. The app will be live and will not be taken down.
