TRB Straight to Recording For All: Innovations in Public Transportation Planning and Modeling Utilizing General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS)

TRB recorded a series of videos in April and May 2016 that provide four applications of the General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS). GTFS data feeds come in a series of common text files. This allows agencies to share their transit data openly and developers to create new applications including public transportation modeling, analysis, and planning. The videos are available on-demand at no cost.

Here are the slides from the presentations.
