FTA GIS Database

Our FTP server hosts the FTA GIS database of bus systems which includes:

All fixed-route buses in the U.S. recorded as GIS route systems and as line databases, stored in various propietary formats,
Level of Service spreadsheets for each route in each bus system, including days and hours of service and frequency of service during the day,
Service area maps – area databases of cities and towns comprising the service area with contact information for each. (This has been added recently—see description.)

For a detailed description of this database, see the overview.

Cape Cod AVL Mapper

Our Cape Cod AVL Mapper, on e-transit.org, shows the location of buses in the Cape Cod Regional Transit Authority (Massachusetts) in real time.

Access to Jobs Database

The GeoGraphics Lab recently produced the Access to Jobs relational database to help transit systems coordinate transportation for former welfare recipients who now have jobs.

Sample Maps

See our Sample Maps page to see examples of the kinds of maps we produce.
