Share an experience

Look out for
each other.

Unsafe or aggressive driving. The near-miss that leaves your heart pounding. A footpath or crossing that puts people at risk.

Report it in under a minute. It reaches the authorities, and it builds a shared, public picture of our streets that we can act on together.

Community Roadwatch reports a year. To what end?

Mind the gaps.

01 · The Data Gap
Public safety data is sparse and siloed.
Near misses, harassment, infrastructure failures and the everyday experiences that shape our transport choices are largely underreported. People find it too hard to report and official forms don't account for the realities of our modern transport system.
02 · The Perception Gap
We're missing the big picture.
A driver may not understand why a cyclist takes the lane. An able-bodied person may not see the space needed by a wheelchair user. A scooter rider may not realise they're causing fear on the footpath. Without a means to share our experiences and a way to understand the differences in how we experience our shared spaces, we're missing the big picture.
03 · The Agency Gap
Reports go in. What comes out?
For people that report near-misses, unsafe road user behaviour and public hazards, most are left with a sense of frustration and despondency as they wonder what impact their reports actually have. A 2018 Police review found Community Roadwatch users feel they are "shouting into the void." Police end up processing ~35,000 reports a year, but to what end?

Your near-miss is part of a pattern.

Every report appears anonymously on a shared map, colour-coded by register: Safety, Hazards, Damage and Positive experiences. Patterns become visible to your community, agencies, and you.

"I was crossing at the corner of Manners and Taranaki after the light to cross turned green when a car ran the red. I had to jump back and the driver didn't even look."
On footNear-miss
"A driver overtook me on Constable Street just past where the bike lane merges into the road. He crossed the centre line and came within half a metre. I ended up passing them at the lights."

"Finally got the new kerb cut at the Wakefield corner. Took my chair through without lifting wheels for the first time."

A small civic experiment, made in Wellington.

bizzibody is an independent civic research and design project, led by Bamboo Creative in collaboration with members of the public.

The pilot is testing whether transparent, community-driven reporting can actually change how we perceive risk and the way we use our shared spaces.

Self-funded (for now). Grounded in evidence.

Questions?

Is this anonymous?+
Yes. Reports appear on the public map anonymously. No name, no profile, no identifying details. If you choose to create an account, we store your personal email and other personally identifiable information (if you provide it) securely and you can use these details to generate reports for official channels e.g. Community Roadwatch, FIXit, Lime
Who can see my reports?+
Anyone who looks at the public map can see the location of the incident, read the AI-generated transcript (always anonymised) and see the reporter's mode and the nature of the issue. If you choose to send secondary reports through official channels, these may require you to add additional personal information (such as name, contact details and address) these details will be shared with that agency and you can choose to save them to your account to make it easy for you to send reports to public and private agencies in the future.
Is this an official channel?+
No. bizzibody is an independent civic platform advocating for better shared spaces. While you can currently draft reports for agency and private channels (e.g. Police Community Roadwatch, Wellington City Council FIXit, micro-mobility providers), we have no enforcement role. Agencies are encouraged to reach out here.
What happens with my reports?+
Three things, in sequence: (1) you review and confirm the details captured from your voice recording or text; (2) it appears anonymously on the public map; (3) if you create an account, we draft reports for relevant third-party agencies which you can review and send in your own time.
