Jill Seman Mom Maps

Jill Seman created Mom Maps, which guides parents to child-friendly locations and allows end-users to add recommendations. San Francisco residents have used the app to pressure city leaders to address park safety problems. Federal CTO Aneesh Chopra said Mom Maps could help parents in transparency-challenged countries alert their governments to problems at public facilities. Mom Maps already serves cities in multiple countries, so Chopra asked an agreeable Seman if she could create a button that lets international users easily endorse complaints about facilities. Those complaints could be routed to the Obama administration, which could send them to appropriate officials overseas. In this video, Seman discusses what exactly MomMaps is and whether it has expanded beyond San Francisco.
