Portland-related mobile apps. CivicApps is a project of the City of Portland to create apps that encourage civic participation and better enable Portlanders to use city-produced data.

iPhone

  • City of Portland PDX Reporter - allows citizens to report issues (regarding parks, pot holes, traffic lights, street lights, catch basins, etc) to the City of Portland.

Android

  • City of Portland PDX Reporter - allows citizens to report issues (regarding parks, pot holes, traffic lights, street lights, catch basins, etc) to the City of Portland.


Open Data Civic Projects Index

There are a number of great open data projects going on in Portland. Here is a bit more data about these projects to make collaboration and contributions a little easier.

Index Format:

  • Project Name
  • Description
  • Website
  • Point of Contact
  • Status (active, in-process, needs maintenance, or idea)
  • Notes about how to contribute and help out

PDX Reporter

Description: Allows citizens to report issues (regarding parks, pot holes, traffic lights, street lights, catch basins, etc) to the City of Portland.
Website: https: //www.portlandoregon.gov/bts/article/419529
Source Code: https://code.google.com/p/pdxiphoneapp/source/browse/#svn%2Ftrunk%2FPdxCitizenReport%20(OS)
Point of Contact: Rick Nixon
Status: needs updating to ios7
Notes: Code for Portland contacted Rick about an ios developer member helping to update - still in -progress on this. Contact us if you're interested @CodeforPortland

Realtime Bridge Status

Description: Get a feed of scheduled raising/lowering of the various bridges. And as well, a way to directly query the current state of each bridge. The service would include enough info so (for example) if a particular bridge is in the UP position, the data would reveal why. A dataset like this would support traffic routing apps and informational apps for people caught in traffic waiting for a bridge to be lowered.
