  The informational environment surrounding the Covid-19 pandemic has been
widely recognized as fragmented, politicized, and complex [1]. This has
resulted in polarized public views regarding the veracity of scientific
communication, the severity of the threat posed by the virus, and the necessity
of nonpharmaceutical interventions (NPIs) which can slow the spread of
infections [2]. This paper describes CovidCommitment.org, an effort toward
enhancing NPI adoption through the combination of a social behavioral
commitment device and interactive map-based visualizations of localized
infection data as tabulated via a 1-hourdrive-time isochrone. This paper
describes the system design and presents a preliminary analysis of user
behavior within the system.
