2. Network
• Oregon’s fixed route transit network
• Recent steps in improving the network
visibility
• Leveraging investments in visibility to
explore the network
13. Exploring the Network
• GTFS data is required for Google Transit
to work
• GTFS = General Transit Feed
Specification
• GTFS = description of fixed route transit
service (stops, routes, schedules)
20. Exploring the Network
• Mapping of transit stops allow better
coordination between road
authorities/local governments and transit
agencies
• Opens the door to coordinated
investments in stop infrastructure
• Encourages consideration of transit in
bike/ped investment decision making
21. Exploring the Network
• Better tools -> better understanding of the
network
• Better network information -> better policies
and funding priorities
• Better network information -> more
opportunities to collaborate on bike/ped
infrastructure investments
Notes de l'éditeur
Greyhound itinerary planning works only with Greyhound and affiliates Until recently it took real work to figure out if a trip across transit service was possible/practical.
Coming back to this map again… No stop information, No detailed route information, No local transit service.
