7. How can transit compete and thrive?
How do we integrate transit into the
landscape of online information?
Open data makes transit
information more ubiquitous.
8. Open data for transit information ubiquity
• Examples:
• Google Transit
• Agency developer sites
• iPhone applications
• Estately
• Walkscore.com
• BrailleNote
• Multi-modal planning
• TransitAndTrails.org
• GTFS for rural providers
11. The Google Transit Feed
Specification, as a lightweight
data standard for transit
geographic and schedule data, has
quickly become an increasingly
ubiquitous format.
And you don’t have to be
Google to use it.
12. We’re small and we can’t provide
every customized solution people ask
for…. making the data available is
something that we’re very familiar
with so that developers can develop
the tools themselves. It’s like having
an army of developers available to us.

13. “The old limits of what unmanaged
and unpaid groups can do are no
longer in operation; the difficulties
that kept self-assembled groups from
working together are shrinking,
meaning that the number and kinds
of things groups can get done
without financial motivation or
managerial oversight are growing.”
— Clay Shirky, Here Comes Everybody

28. By putting this data in a common format, it
can really smooth the information sharing
between agencies. …We need to make
connections with them [other agencies], and
a lot of that now is verbal or through printed
material, and there is a great opportunity to
actually shuttle the information back and
forth to make it much more accessible when
you’re planning service.
— Tim McHugh, CTO, Trimet

32. Conclusion
If agencies provide standardized
data, worldwide software
development communities can
help public transportation
agencies to provide information to
their customers in more useful
ways and places.
