Abstract:This report documents the results of a research project whose objective was to build on the results of project SPR 803 to identify the value proposition for adoption of the GTFS-ride data standard and to continue to develop an ecosystem of supporting software tools. By completing this project, the current state of practice, level of technical capabilities, and challenges related to ridership data faced by Oregon transit agencies are now better understood. Although it is recognized that the GTFS-ride data standard has the potential to solve many ridership data challenges, Oregon transit agencies are hesitant to implement the GTFS-ride data standard without integration into the software tools they currently use. With only slightly over a year in existence, the GTFS-ride data standard is still in its infancy, and additional education and dissemination efforts are needed in the future to achieve its widespread use. Despite these challenges, this project accomplished significant progress toward the goal of furthering the use of the GTFS-ride data standard. With improved supporting software tools and website, salient data conversion pilot case studies, interested stakeholder group creation, and extensive discussion and presentation, the project’s dissemination efforts significantly increased the awareness and interest of the GTFS-ride data standard within public transit industry. With additional resources and strategic partnerships, there are great opportunities for furthering the adoption and expansion of the GTFS-ride data standard and for the realization of its benefits.
