The team that built Walk Score has a new a project – a utility that shows you are far you can get on transit in a given amount of time. Portland is one of three cities in the “Transit Time Map” technology demo.
Metro has launched a tool that lets you select your own set of High Capacity Transit corridors, which will then be scored on cost, ridership and other factors. Take it out for a spin.
PBS’s “Blueprint America” series recently did two segments on challenges for transit in the current economic environment. Part 1 focuses on service reductions due to operating funding gaps and Part 2 looks at Sale-Leaseback deals that are collapsing as financial institutions fail.
