The Open Transport Partnership@ Transforming Transportation, 2017

Facilitating public-private collaboration for more

efficient, effective, and equitable urban mobility

THE PRIVATE SECTOR IS DRIVING CHANGE IN HOW CITIES MANAGE AND PLAN URBAN TRANSPORT

SYSTEMS

(A LOT)

THE NEW PPP

Digital communication and location technologies are transforming how we move, and the way we use and manage our transport system.

As part of this shift private-sector innovators play an increasing role in collecting and managing data critical to ensuing efficient, effective, and equitable urban mobility.

OTP is developing the next generation of public-private partnerships, policies and tools for facilitating responsible use of private sector data for the public good.

These companies maintain databases of millions of GPS points that

crisscross urban areas, and each company’s individual database may

span more than a hundred cities, across many countries.

AND YOU WANT TOTake a bus somewhere

or

Identify a suitable location for a

new transit route or station

YOU’LL NEED A MAP!

More than 75% of the world’s largest low income cities do not have complete

maps of their transit networks

WHAT IS GTFS?Standardized tabular format for

transit system data:

Routes

Stops

Operating Schedules

Fares

WHY DO WEGTFS?

Growing # of developers are creating innovative solutions to transit challenges, leveraging this standard.

In theory, an investment in an application in one city can be adopted in any other city that has adopted the same standards.
