• Intro to Oregon, ODOT, Transit & GIS• GTFS & Existing tools • Challenges faced• Current & future opportunities
Oregon Transportation Plan 2006
The Goal – “Provide a balanced, efficient and integrated transportation
system that ensures interconnected access to all areas of the state, the
nation and the world. Promote transportation choices that are reliable, accessible and cost-
effective.”
- Oregon Transportation Commission
Economy & Jobs Policy Vision April 2012
“Transportation should balance pedestrian, transit and auto access to
reduce dependence on autos and provide secure, convenient and
affordable mobility for all citizens.”
- Governor John Kitzhaber

GIS, Transit & TAPU
Transit:-Grants-Coordination with Transit providers
GIS:-Enterprise data -Application Dev-Maps
TAPU:-Travel modeling for MPOs
GTFS
General Transit Feed General Transit Feed Specification Specification ((GTFS))
GTFS defines a common format for public transportation
schedules and associated geographic, fare, and service
calendar information.
GIS & GTFS = Efficiency
• The analytical work we do using GIS tools enable us to effectively meet our goals associated with optimal use of our highway system to safely and efficiently move people and goods. In times of shrinking resources, we can do more with less by utilizing GIS tools. The GTFS will help us do that. • - Becky Knudson, Senior Transportation
Economist with the Transportation Analysis and Planning Unit

GIS Tools Used
• ESRI JavaScript API: TransGIS, ODOT’s Enterprise web GIS tool and development framework
• ArcGIS Online: Zero IS overhead, quick to deploy, but limited customization
• ArcGIS Desktop: Custom plots & analysis• FME: Data merging & validation

Existing Challenges
• Which tool to use (TransGIS, FACS-STIP, ArcGIS O…) ?
• Data quality.. Tri-Met vs. the rest
• Integration with Legacy ODOT systems
Future Opportunities
• Existing research project to develop statewide Transit Analyst tool (Open Trip Planner)
• Apps & open source• Heightened collaboration between business
lines (Transit, Highway, Planning, Maintenance..)
• Evaluating “pop-up” ride share locations on ODOT ROW
Web tools – Externally Accessible
