Adding New Agencies to OneBusAway TampaSean Barbeau
This presentation provides an introduction to the OneBusAway open-source project (http://onebusaway.org/), and discusses the steps necessary to add a new agency to the OneBusAway Tampa system (http://tampa.onebusaway.org/).
Closing the Loop - Improving Transit through Crowd-sourced InformationSean Barbeau
Offering real-time arrival information to riders via mobile applications has been shown to improve the rider’s perception of transit, and even increase ridership. This direct connection to riders also offers the agency an opportunity to collect feedback on how transit service and infrastructure can be improved. However, managing the sheer volume of this rider feedback can be very challenging, especially when various departments and agencies (e.g., city/county government) are involved (e.g., does this broken bench belong to the transit agency or the county?). This presentation discusses a pilot project in Tampa, FL, funded by the Florida Department of Transportation and the National Center for Transit Research, which focused on the improvement of the feedback loop from riders back to transit agencies, local government, and departments of transportation. This project made improvements to the OneBusAway mobile app, originally deployed in Tampa in 2013, to include support for the Open311 standard (http://www.open311.org/) for issue reporting. Open311 support gives agencies the option of selecting a hosted issue management solution that supports Open311 such as SeeClickFix.com and PublicStuff.com, or the option to utilize existing open-source Open311-compliant software.

Open data in the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) format has led to many innovations in the transit industry. One of these innovations has been the emergence of open-source software projects that utilize open transit data and offer various multi-modal traveler information services. OneBusAway (http://onebusaway.org/) started as a student project at the University of Washington, and now offers real-time transit arrival information riders at more than 10 cities around the world. OpenTripPlanner (http://www.opentripplanner.org/) started as a project in TriMet, OR and has been used for the basis of many other trip planning applications world-wide, including the university campus-centric USF Maps App (http://maps.usf.edu/). This presentation will discuss the evolution and benefits of the OneBusAway and USF Maps App, including the ability for anyone to deploy these projects in new locations.
This document summarizes a presentation about maintaining and sharing General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data. It discusses options for maintaining GTFS data through scheduling software, in-house tools, or web-based applications. It also covers best practices for publishing GTFS data on a public server and with directories. Applications of GTFS data for trip planning, planning and analysis, and real-time information are briefly described.

NTI 2017 Workshop - Many Uses of GTFS DataSean Barbeau
GTFS data has enabled many different types of multimodal applications. This presentation, which was presented at the 2017 NTI Workshop, discussing the creation, maintenance, and application of GTFS data.
For-hire passenger transport services, including taxis, for-hire cars with drivers and some forms of on- demand micro-transit, are an essential component of well-functioning metropolitan areas. They deliver convenient door-to-door trips for those who either punctually or regularly require such services. Though they typically only account for a small share of overall trips, they are essential for some people, at some times and in certain circumstances.

Leveraging new media for customer information and community partnershipsAaron Antrim
New media approaches to communication take advantage of digital tools to facilitate more open information sharing. The Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) agency publishes transportation schedules and real-time arrival data in formats like XML and GTFS to encourage innovative applications from developers. By making data publicly available, agencies hope to increase ridership through new tools and reach broader audiences without spending resources on internal application development.
This document discusses strategies to reduce travel demand and energy use in the transportation sector. It recommends changing driving habits like planning trips, walking or cycling for short trips, using public transit, and sharing car journeys. It also suggests using alternatives to travel like conference calls, web meetings, and videoconferencing for work and combining essential trips. The document promotes education and online training options. It also provides information about commenting on Minnesota's long range transportation plan to guide the state's transportation system for the next 20 years.

The document discusses the importance of analytics in projects and project management. It outlines some key benefits of analytics including optimizing resources, detecting fraud and anomalies, and forecasting. It provides examples of how analytics has helped the North Carolina Department of Transportation optimize transportation projects to be faster, cheaper and more environmentally friendly. Analytics also helped the International Organization for Migration in Nepal effectively manage refugee camps after an earthquake. The document notes some challenges of analytics including data, skills, and change management but emphasizes the strategic benefits it provides.
This document summarizes a presentation on the nexus between economic development and logistics. It discusses the different perspectives of public and private sectors on freight operations and challenges to effective policy from a lack of coordination. It also outlines the various types of freight logistics facilities, how their site selection is driven by private business needs, and the multi-step process used to evaluate locations. Key lessons stressed understanding which facility types match a community's strengths and that different factors are important for each industry sector.
