At a Bike to Work Day rally on Freedom Plaza this morning, the District Department of Transportation’s Acting Director Michelle Pourciau announced the launching of a new website that would pool resources and information for area commuters.
Working with the Downtown D.C. Business Improvement District, DDOT today officially introduced goDCgo.com, a site that will include information on parking, transit, bicycling, carsharing, road closures and more, all pooled from existing websites. According to a DDOT press release, the idea for the website came from D.C Mayor Anthony Williams’ 2004 Downtown Congestion Taskforce, which called for “better traveler information to mitigate the increased travel demands accompanying the District’s downtown’s continued growth.”
The site is currently in beta form, and is accepting user input so as to better tailor its information and presentation to the needs of area commuters.
