The National Rural Transit Assistance Program (National RTAP) is hosting a free webinar on General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) and National Transit Database (NTD) Reporting.

Accurate and up to date GTFS data is critical to ensure a positive rider experience, but it requires regular maintenance and updates. Incorrect or expired GTFS data is often more confusing to the transit rider than having no data at all. Imagine waiting for a bus where the bus will no longer stop, the service hours have changed because a holiday was not coded correctly, or the route canceled altogether.

This webinar supports rural transit agencies as they begin their GTFS updates. Attendees will learn how to conduct a data quality review and how to update GTFS data feeds.

Presenters:

• Thomas Craig, Washington DOT, Public Transportation Division, Transportation Planner
• Evan Siroky, Transit Data Quality Branch Manager, Caltrans
• Marcy Jaffe, National RTAP GTFS Contractor
• Al Benedict, National RTAP (Moderator)

This training is ideal for transit agency staff and planners responsible for GTFS reporting, staff responsible for NTD reporting, GIS teams for city/county/tribes, and data analysts.
