Transit Trip Planning Web Application

This project will provide travelers with door-to-door trip planning options for using public modes for longer distance intercity travel integrated with local transit. Resource Systems Group, Inc. (RSG) will further develop and test the method and advance it to a prototype for application and potential commercialization. The project will provide the traveler with integrated door-to-door trip details for using either Amtrak or intercity bus for the longer distance segment, and available transit for access to and from the long distance terminal points. The research team will reach out to new metropolitan transit information programs, such as the RideScout Mobile Application.
