Looking for a good transit app? There's a site for that. The good people at FrontSeat.org, makers of "software for civic life" like WalkScore.com (which promotes car-free living by providing a personalized "walkability" rating for any address) have unveiled their latest project: City-Go-Round. The site is a searchable database of public transit applications (apps) available in cities across America. Visitors also see a list of which transit agencies make their data publicly available to software developers and which agencies do not.

“We are calling on transit agencies nationwide to open their data and follow the lead of the Open Government Directive issued this week by the White House,” said Mike Mathieu, founder and chairman of Front Seat. “City-Go-Round’s transit apps are a concrete example of how open data can improve citizens’ lives on a daily basis.”

The civic software movement took another leap forward this past week with the announcement by SeeClickFix that the site now covers more than 25,000 towns and cities across the U.S., along with 8,000 discrete neighborhoods. SeeClickFix describes itself as "a tool to help communities help themselves." Users can report local issues that need addressing, and see what other users are reporting, while local officials can track and prioritize issues of concern to their residents and use the site to receive email and RSS alerts on issues reported by their constituents.
