Transit GIS 2017 Session: Minding the Gap? Designing Transit Services to Fill Gaps and Enhance Access
Moderated by: Sara Hendricks
Minding the Gap? Designing Transit Services to Fill Gaps and Enhance Access
Learn analytical methods for alleviating first mile/last mile access gaps using GIS and complementary software and how to use interactive isochrones to facilitate a conversation to design better transit systems, engaging riders to document factors that affect getting from point A to B and modeling service area vulnerability.

Moderated by: Nikola Ivanov
There’s an Index for that: Developing Effective Transit Using Geoanalytical Insights
There are a number of factors at play in designing the most effective and efficient transit projects and networks. This session discusses indexes and measures of transit directness, competitiveness, and market area development. It explores how these analytical techniques can help transit agencies better plan future network changes for the communities they serve.

Moderated by: Drew Dara-Abrams
A Thorough Tour of GTFS: Creating, Improving, Sharing, Finding
For over 10 years, public transit agencies have been sharing their schedules with Google and others using the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS). This common format has enabled a wide range of apps, services, and businesses to be built around such data. Attendees will take a soup to nuts tour through the basics of GTFS, best practices, the mechanics of publishing, and how to work with other agencies’ feeds.
