After the success of the first three (3) editions of the Y4PT Global Transport Hackathon series in Montreal 2017 (Canada), Dubai 2018 (United Arab Emirates) and Stockholm 2019 (Sweden), the Youth For Public Transport (Y4PT) Foundation, with the support of the International Association of Public Transport (UITP), its members and other stakeholders, and following the long-standing tradition of Y4PT Youth Lab series, is promoting the organization of local transport hackathons around the world during the 2019-2023 season, by combining the best of boundless human creativity and the benefits of current information and communications technologies (ICTs) in collaborative environments, with the aim of advancing transport sector towards sustainability.
Winners from each local transport hackathon will join other Spain-based hackers at the 4th Y4PT Global Transport Hackathon Barcelona 2023 (https://www.y4pt.org/projects/hackathon) in the framework of the 64th UITP Global Public Transport Summit Barcelona 2023 – the world’s oldest, largest and top leading sustainable mobility event – to contest in a final round for unveiling the world’s best ground-breaking transport solutions.
Many cities around the world are hosting the first local transport hackathons. Other cities are also welcome to join.
Different local stakeholders such as universities, youth groups, ICT companies, transport operators, authorities, startup mentors and hackers are called to collaborate with Y4PT and to be part of the next editions of the world’s first-ever global transport hackathon and the world’s top leading transport innovation contest, acknowledged by the European Mobility Week Secretariat (European Union) as one of the best practices of 2017.
Everyone is invited to get on board. This is an one-off opportunity to show to your audience and users how important is for you to support this kind of events where innovation and creativity is putting forward new ICT-related solutions to boost both the private sector business performance and the public sector policy efficacy, and thus to unlock new opportunities to expand, diversify and renew your organization’s portfolio of products and services.
What is a Hackathon?
A Hackathon is an event, typically lasting several days, where a number of skilled people meet to engage in software programming and hardware prototyping, with the aim of ingeniously solving specific issues in a collaborative and cooperative environment. Hackathon outcomes usually lead to the inception of startup projects and trigger other innovation processes in different ICT-intensive fields such as the transport sector.
Overview
Most of the cities are going through a gradually-increasing integration with the outer world that has meant new and disruptive socio-economic conditions which market and its players are yet striving to adapt well. For instance immigration, climate change and security are three core pending issues on both the local and global agendas.
Furthermore, emerging concepts such as sharing economy are not anymore a matter of the future. They are already here, being present now among all of us somehow. And they are fostering a fast change at all levels in different sectors, forcing all existing approaches to be re-thought.
For years the transport field has served as the right testing ground for new technological developments and results have been later replicated in other sectors.
In the light of the above, several stakeholders have joined forces along with UITP, to organize the fourth edition of the world’s first-ever global transport hackathon, an open and collaborative space where people are called to contribute to solving major transport-related challenges while employing ICTs in an ingenious way.
Transport Challenges
- ALL MODES: All modes of transport are covered, whether terrestrial, aquatic, air, etc.
- ALL MEANS: All means of transport currently available are included, such as bicycles, trains, walking, cars, buses, aircraft, among others.
- PASSENGERS AND FREIGHT: Transport solutions are meant to mobilize people and/or goods.
Hackathon projects should contribute somehow to a ultimate goal, doubling public transport’s market share worldwide (PTx2): “UITP estimates that it would save around 170m tons of oil and 550m tons of CO2 equivalent; reduce urban traffic fatalities by 15%; double the number of jobs in public transport operators as well as reduce the risk of obesity and heart disease by 50% thanks to the greater role of walking, cycling and public transport.”
Moreover all projects should be in line with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially the one addressing sustainable transport (Target 11.2): “By 2030, provide access to safe, affordable, accessible and sustainable transport systems for all, improving road safety, notably by expanding public transport, with special attention to the needs of those in vulnerable situations, women, children, persons with disabilities and older persons”.
A wide range of current and critical challenges faced by the transport sector as a whole will be addressed during the Hackathon, with public transport as the cornerstone of multimodal mobility solutions, in line with the Y4PT’s holistic point of view on sustainable transport.

Open Data
Currently different organizations in both public and private sectors have released a wide range of sets of databases, freely accessible to the general public, without restrictions on use.
In the case of the public sector, access to open data is one of the key principles of transparency and good governance, necessary for the control exercised by citizens on results of the performance of leaders and civil servants, as well as the effectiveness of public policy in different areas.
On the web there are different open data libraries:
Hackers are advised to download in advance databases and to storage them in hard drives (or removable discs) to be used during the Hackathon.
