A call for Open- Source Public Transit Mapping (Faludi, 2005) Google Transit Feed System (GTFS) First iteration 9/25/2006 Chris Harrelson (software engineer, Google) 26 revisions since Bibiana McHugh (IT Manager, TriMET) Notable revisions GTFS Real-Time (8/20) Wheelchair access (10/2012) Bikes allowed (2/2014)

29 GTFS implications for livable communities (and TRCLC)? Enhances usability of transit system by existing transit riders (trip planning) Makes visible transit as viable option for potential riders (makes transit systems less confusing; approachable) Cascading positive effects of increased transit use (public health; environmental health; urban design) Allows for regular performance-based assessments of existing, modified and planned transit systems (transparency; equity; collaborative governance)
