Abstract:This report documents the TriMet OpenTripPlanner (OTP) project, part of the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Mobility on Demand (MOD) Sandbox Program, providing details of a project that makes major strides toward the plan-book-pay function and helps pave the way with open source software so other agencies also can implement these functions. The TriMet OTP project was designed to enhance the existing TriMet trip planner to include shared-use mobility (SUM) options, real-time information on transit vehicle arrivals, pedestrian routing in consideration of sidewalks, and other interface or data enhancements. This project significantly improves transit trip planning by including more modes and enhancing mapping, geocoding, and spatial data, accomplished using open source software, which minimizes up-front cost and delay for other systems to start their own multimodal trip planner. It also provided strategic planning that answers critical questions for future implementation of paying for the multimodal trip. The project had four main goals: 1) for the OpenTripPlanner (OTP), extend code to incorporate shared-use mobility (SUM) modes, real-time information, and enhanced accessibility narrative, 2) for the Pelias geocoder, extend functionality for government agencies and improve match rate and accuracy of locations, 3) for OpenStreetMap and OpenAddresses, improve data to support new and enhance existing features for comprehensive trip planning and geocoding, and 4) develop an Integrated Payment Plan for a future one-click payment feature by using existing software and data and leveraging open source software, open data, and open standards to facilitate widespread adoption and easy replicability for other transit agencies. TriMet partnered with five transit agencies to ensure that project requirements were inclusive and comprehensive.
