This document discusses the Open Trip Planner project. It provides an overview of single and multi-mode trip planners, describes development of an open source multi-modal trip planner prototype, and outlines tasks over two phases from 2009-2013 that include developing additional features, evaluating the system, and producing final reports. The goal is to create an open source trip planning application to replace an existing proprietary system.

1 Improve Geometry- make OSM linework coincident with RLIS
Add Additional Linework:
2
Trails.shp, bicycle.shp, pedestrian paths, major waterways
3 Verify Directionality for bicycle routing
4 Verify Turn Restrictions for bicycle routing
