Abstract:Significant progress has been made in recent years in reporting and using public transit service data. With the creation and widespread use of the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data standard, there has been a significant increase in the functionality and enhancements to the utility of transit service data (e.g., GTFS-realtime, Google Maps transit, NextBus, Remix, etc.). While these advancements have been instrumental in advancing the understanding and usage of transit service data, the utility of public transit ridership data has lagged behind due to the lack of a standard data format with which to store and report the information. To address this shortcoming and to improve the value of the massive amounts of ridership data already being collected, this research has developed a new public transit ridership data standard called GTFS-ride. GTFS-ride is the result of a close collaboration among the Oregon Department of Transportation, Oregon State University, and many stakeholders in the public transit sector. In addition to the development of GTFS-ride, this research has yielded a suite of web-based software tools to support its initial implementation and use.
