Abstract:

This project demonstrates a potential avenue to use new data sources to support State and local agencies in measuring the use and effectiveness of their public transportation systems. General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data provided by transit agencies only contain schedule data and are primarily intended for use in rider planning apps like Google Maps or the Transit App. But DOT’s recent creation of the National Transit Map to aggregate these feeds at a national scale provides opportunities to integrate GTFS data with AADT and demographic predictors of ridership. This project explores how this existing national transit dataset can be used to help State and local agencies estimate segment-level ridership and generate performance data useful for multimodal planning. The tools developed in this project are able to compare vehicle traffic to estimated or measured transit ridership along the same road. All of the multimodal measures developed in this project can be calculated using measured ridership data for agencies that have it, or modeled ridership for agencies that do not.
