Abstract:

This report provides an overview of the National Park Service (NPS) General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) 2023 Pilot Project. To better connect people to parks and improve trip planning capabilities, NPS is interested in making transit information more accessible to a broader range of visitors both on third-party applications, such as Google Maps and Apple Maps, and NPS digital products, such as the NPS app and website. Improving visitor access to transit information aligns with the 2017 National Long Range Transportation objective of providing state-of-the-art traveler information and wayfinding and the 2024 National Transportation Strategy objective of improving and expanding trip planning tools. The General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) is the standardized and widely accepted method for transmitting transit information to third-party applications. GTFS feeds can either be static, displaying a pre-determined, fixed schedule, or real-time, displaying live updates of bus positions and expected arrival times. Establishing GTFS feeds will improve the traveler experience and further integrate NPS systems into the larger transit network. This project aimed to understand GTFS best practices, build static GTFS for up to 10 park transit systems, and provide recommendations for continuing and improving GTFS feed creation and maintenance.
