Govhack22 Project for Public Transport

This project aims to used both ABS and ACT supplied data to improve sustainable behaviours around the use of public transport in the ACT.

The TransCO2 website does this by addressing the uptake, CO2 output and Pricing of the ACT’s public transport usage from two sides. The first being the side of the commuter and the second being the side of the transport planner.
