Draft of design issue

Issue

  • https://github.com/hackforla/tdm-calculator/issues/2055

Body

Project Name: TDM Calculator

About: “Transportation Demand Management,” also known as "TDM," is a set of strategies that aim to reduce the number of vehicles on the road and improve the efficiency of transportation systems. One such strategy that the city of Los Angeles employs to accomplish this is requiring real estate developers to meet a set of criteria that help reduce the amount of cars driven by occupants in their buildings.

The Los Angeles TDM Calculator is a web application that Hack for LA is creating in conjunction with the L.A. Department of Transportation (LADOT) and Los Angeles City Planning. The application's purpose is to help real estate developers process their applications more easily and efficiently. It gives real-time feedback while developers explore TDM strategies. It also allows transparency so that the general public can understand which TDM strategies Los Angeles employs.

Volunteer Opportunity: Help us design the final features of the Los Angeles TDM web application as well as a new case study website that will document and promote the work Hack for LA did on the TDM app.

We are looking for 3 UX designers to help us improve our website by:

  • Reviewing the website to ensure consistency with the TDM design system.
  • Creating new designs using Figma.
  • Giving feedback to other designers on the team.

Duration: For designers, the TDM project is slated to last until late February or early March. After that, the design team will transition to creating a case study website.

Meeting Times:

Required Design Team meeting: Wednesdays 6:30 PM - 7:00 PM Pacific All-Hands meeting: Wednesdays 7:00 PM - 8:00 PM Pacific

Optional Stakeholder meeting: Every other Tuesday 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM Pacific Stakeholder Follow-up meeting: Every other Tuesday 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM Pacific Stakeholder Preparation meeting: Thursdays 1:00 PM - 2:00 PM Pacific
