The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) collects and analyzes data from across the country on public transportation fuel use, vehicles deployed, rides taken, and other key metrics. These data, taken from the National Transit Database and combined with information from the U.S. Department of Energy and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, provides valuable insight into the impacts of autom...

Public transit operators often publish their open data in a dump, but developers with limited computational resources may not have the means to process all this efficiently. In our prior work we shown that geospatially partitioning an operator’s network can improve query times for client-side route planning applications by factor of 2.4. However, it remains unclear whether works types, or other...

Public transit ridership forecasts have long played a role in understanding the potential success of policy or investment, but their limitations led researchers and practitioners to identify other performance analysis approaches. Accessibility, ease reaching opportunities, has become very popular widely used for this purpose. But commonly accessibility measures also embody weaknesses that are s...

Problems in transit fare equity affect the daily commute of specific groups that depend mostly on public transportation. Previous studies showed some routes present operational characteristics increased price charged to users. To address this issue, a methodology identify have fares much higher than expected, after considering parameters, is developed. This paper presents implemented evaluate i...
