SUMMARY:2024 CUTA Policy Forum
DESCRIPTION:Join us for CUTA’s 2024 Policy Forum. We are pleased to provide a platform for some of North America’s leading transit and urban mobility experts to discuss the future of our industry. It is crucial to maintain cross-sector dialogue to keep transit systems running and ready to adapt to change. As the national voice for the Canadian public transit industry\, CUTA proudly holds this annual event in our nation’s capital to help advance public transit policy\, particularly at the federal level. This year’s event will focus on public transit’s contributions to economic affordability and productivity\, regional coordination and integration\, and transit’s role in addressing the state of zero-emission transmission readiness across the public transit sector.

SUMMARY:GTFS Trip-Modifications - Discussing the Proposal
DESCRIPTION:👋 This meeting is intended to facilitate discussions around the GTFS Trip-Modifications proposal by Transit and Swiftly. \nTrip-Modifications are modifications done to a trip to modify its shape\, remove stops that are not served anymore\, and potentially add temporary stops. Trip-Modifications is mainly used in a detour use case. \n📝 The topics of discussion are: \n\nGTFS-TripModification vs NewTrips\nStop sequence vs reference with only stop id\nBus bridge proposal\nPotential new or experimental fields : last updated timestamp\, link with service alerts\n\n🚂 Ideally\, we can find consensus on these issues. \n🤓 Learn more about GTFS Trip-Modifications by reading the following blog posts: \n\nHow Transit and Swiftly put bus detours on the map\nHow Swiftly and Transit put bus detours on the map\n\n🔔 Join the larger GTFS community on MobilityData’s slack and remain up to date with developments. \nCan’t make the meeting? no problem. \nWrite down your comments and concerns in the GitHub Pull Request. We will also summarize the meeting in the GitHub Pull Request. \nor \nContact us at specification@mobilitydata.org

SUMMARY:GTFS-Flex Working Group Meeting
DESCRIPTION:👋 After a 2 month break\, we can finally resume the GTFS-Flex working group meeting. This meeting is intended to facilitate the adoption process of GTFS-Flex as described in this Pull Request on GitHub. \nIn the last 2 months\, we held 2 meetings concerning the inclusion of GeoJSON in GTFS. Here were some highlights: \n🌐 In total\, we had 73 participants from across the globe\n🤝 We reached a soft consensus on moving forward with GeoJSON as the format for zones [locations.geojson] within the GTFS-Flex extension.\n⏸️ The use of shapes and stops will remain unchanged for now as these seem to be needing more discussion.\n⚠️ During this meeting\, we will discuss the remaining outstanding items that are currently blocking the extension from being put to a vote. \n⏳ The meeting will be held at 5pm EDT on November 1 \,2023. We understand that this is an unusual time for many of you but as a commitment to our global stakeholders in all timezones\, we promised to accommodate them too when the time came. \n🚂 Ideally\, we can find consensus on these issues and then draw a clear path towards a vote for adoption. \nMeanwhile\, we would like to invite you to join the GTFS community in the following discussions: \n♾️ Continue the GeoJSON in GTFS discussion on GitHub.\n📫 Join the GTFS-Flex discussion and contribute to its official adoption.\n🕸️ Visit the GTFS-Flex extension webpage and help us keep it up to date by adding your current experimental GTFS-Flex implementations.\n🔔 Join the larger GTFS community on MobilityData’s slack and remain up to date with developments.\nCan’t make the meeting? no problem. \nWrite down your comments and concerns in the GitHub Pull Request. We will also summarize the meeting in the GitHub Pull Request. \nor \nContact us at specification@mobilitydata.org. We can provide you with a recording or a summary

SUMMARY:GeoJSON in GTFS? - From Discussion to Reality
DESCRIPTION:🦜 In response to the discussions held last August\, MobilityData has reviewed your comments and expectations. \nIn this document\, we have included a stakeholder outreach findings\, a comparative analysis between GeoJSON and GPKG\, as well as 2 options to consider and a suggestion. \n👀 TL;DR \nMobilityData has reached out to stakeholders representing agencies/users with limited technical capacity and resources to make sure that we are aware of possible implications for them.\nBased on the feedback\, we propose introducing GeoJSON as the format for expressing vector geospatial data in GTFS\, especially for polygon and linestring geometry.\nWe propose addressing locations.geojson (polygons) first and addressing shapes.geojson (linestring/route shapes) afterward.\n📯 Please review and leave a comment in this document before attending this meeting.\nThis meeting will cover the points highlighted in the document\, confirm consensus around the option and propose a path forward for GeoJSON in GTFS. \n📔 Please let us know if you would like to propose and present an alternative during the meeting\, we can reserve a few minutes for you. \nDisclaimer: This is not a GTFS-Flex working group meeting

SUMMARY:Industry Discussion - Putting shared mobilities on the map
DESCRIPTION:This event is open to all \nThe General Bikeshare Feed Specification (GBFS) has evolved a lot since the public presentation of its roadmap. We added car-sharing with the support of the community\, we supported bike-sharing services with their integration into trip planning applications\, and so much more. So\, let’s take some time to review all these changes and discuss how to further put shared mobilities on the map. \nThe event will be hosted by MobilityData’s Shared Mobility team. They will be joined by three of our members who have made shared mobilities their focus: \n\nFrancis Chabouis\, Developper\, Transport Data Gouv (French NAP);\nMichael Schnuerle\, Director of Open Source Operations\, Open Mobility Foundation (OMF);\nSébastien Marteau\, Head of Business Development\, Fluctuo.\n\n🎯  Industry Discussion – Putting shared mobilities on the map \n🗓️  Wednesday\, March 23rd – 11:00 EDT (08:00 PDT\, 16:00 CET) \n☑️  https://share.mobilitydata.org/IndustryEvent-SharedMobility \n
