• Abstract:
  This report describes the National Park Service’s pilot project to convert select NPS transit schedules to a digital format, known as General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS), in order to share more widely with the public. The GTFS pilot effort began in 2015. This report includes a summary of the pilot effort, key insights, and recommendations for next steps and ; future implementation by other parks. In general, the pilot experience suggests that GTFS will likely be most beneficial as one component of a broader, park-led effort to communicate with visitors about transportation options using official NPS tools.
