Front Seat Awarded Rockefeller Grant
Big news! We’re thrilled to announce that the Rockefeller Foundation awarded a grant to Front Seat (makers of Walk Score) to enhance Walk Score.
We’re using the grant to add public transit, transportation cost, and greenhouse gas emission data to Walk Score. We’re also going to make Walk Score open source!
Today we are launching WalkScore.org where we’ll make the Walk Score source code publicly available. We’ll also host forums there for discussing walkability and other improvements to Walk Score. Visit WalkScore.org to sign up for updates.
So what does this mean for you?
- You’ll see public transit stops on the Walk Score map
- Public transit accessibility will be factored into your Walk Score
- You’ll see your predicted transportation cost and greenhouse gas emissions provided by The Center for Neighborhood Technology
We are grateful to the Rockefeller Foundation for their generosity, vision, and support!
Thank you John D. Rockefeller!
