DOTGO: The World at Your Fingertips

When we heard New York City was hosting the NYC BigApps competition this year, we knew we couldn’t pass up a chance to help make the city more accessible to New Yorkers. Since we’re all about SMS for websites, we thought we would keep things simple, yet useful, and create a DOTGO site for NYC.gov.

To access the site, text “nyc” to DOTGOV (368468) and from there you can navigate to news from the city, information on alternate side parking, garbage and recycling collection, and more. Try it!

We hope you all find this useful, and would greatly appreciate your support in the form of a vote for our submission: VOTE HERE.

You can also access our submission from the simulator.

Thanks!
