RideScore DC

A community-built pipeline and map that scores the bike-safety/comfort of DC streets, combining open data (crashes, lanes, speed, lanes count, etc.) with transparent rule sets (e.g., LTS, BNA-style connectivity).

Overview

What this repo contains

• Rulesets (YAML): Encoded versions of existing bike safety/comfort frameworks (e.g., LTS) plus a composite RideScore for ranking.
• Schemas (JSON): Canonical fields for street segments and scores so layers stay consistent.
• Pipeline code (Python): Ingest → clean → features → scoring → layers → (optional) tiles.
• Layers (JSON): Toggleable map layers (ranking, crash history, number of car lanes, etc.).
• Web: A simple Leaflet/MapLibre web app for exploration.
• Project Plan/Meeting Notes: View link here
