About City, Toronto Open Data

The City of Toronto Open Data Portal is a catalogue of datasets published by the City of Toronto, covering municipal topics such as shelter system statistics, bike share ridership, and points of interest. It provides a searchable dataset catalogue, a mechanism for users to request new datasets, and a gallery showcasing community projects built on the data.

The portal supports the request of new datasets through a dedicated tool that also displays requests made by other users, and accepts project submissions to its gallery and an annual Open Data Awards program. It maintains a GitHub presence for contribution and hosts recurring in-person "Open Data Jam" events connecting the City's open data program with local community groups and institutions such as the Toronto Public Library.

The portal is aimed at developers, analysts, and civic organizations building applications, dashboards, or research on municipal data. It is maintained by the City of Toronto and includes a blog with periodic updates and quarterly summaries of the open data program.
