• Abstract:
  This report provides an overview of the National Park Service (NPS) General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) Phase II Project. To better connect visitors to parks and improve trip planning capabilities, the NPS is interested in improving and seamlessly sharing transit information on third-party applications, such as Google Maps and Apple Maps, and NPS digital products, such as the NPS app and website. With parks turning to transit service to help manage congestion and expand visitor access, creating and sharing GTFS feeds is a cost-effective way to enhance operational efficiency by reducing staff time devoted to sharing transit information with visitors and directing traffic. This project aligns with the 2025 NPS National Transportation Strategy objective of improving and expanding trip planning tools.
