Hands-on GTFS Workshop Series for Annual NTD Compliance Reporting and Empowering Online Trip Planning


Are you prepared to certify that your agency has accurate General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) data and a weblink for the National Transit Database in RY24? Do you have the weblink or GTFS to enter in the NTD? How might preparing the GTFS improve your operations? Is your agency on the National Transit Map? This workshop will answer these questions and more.


National RTAP invites you to a workshop series to develop GTFS data for trip planners. The training will consist of three 1-hour sessions on Wednesdays at 2:00 PM ET on October 2, October 9, and October 16, 2024. At the end of the training, you can expect to complete GTFS data for one bus route, and most importantly, will have the ability to complete your GTFS data for other routes and generate the required weblink to report at the National Transit Database (NTD).

Article about National Parks Service GTFS Recommends National RTAP's GFTS Builder


The Volpe Center's NPS Emerging Mobility Working Group: General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS) Pilot Report states, "The primary open-source tool recommendation is the National Rural Transit Assistance Program (RTAP)’s GTFS Builder."


National RTAP Cited in TCRP Report on Bus Operator Workforce Management


TCRP's Bus Operator Workforce Management: Practitioner’s Guide provides recommendations and resources enabling transit agencies to better assess, plan, and implement their operator workforce management programs. Case studies that were selected during a National RTAP stakeholder interview include rural transit agencies, such as Fairmont-Marion County Transit Agency (FMCTA) and River Cities Public Transit (RCPT). The report cites National RTAP's Safety Best Practices Spotlight Article.

 
U.S. DOT and FTA Updates

The FTA Guidebook for Deploying Battery Electric Buses was developed to provide bus transit agencies with leading transit industry practices for performing these activities. The Guidebook covers the required elements for Battery Electric Buses (BEBs), procuring BEBs and charging systems with recommended language for Requests for Proposals, safety and security, and maintenance and operator training. 


U.S. DOT's Compendium of Transport-Specific Human Trafficking State and Territory Laws: A Resource Guide provides a quick access chart with state-by-state listings (including U.S. territories) and detailed listings of regulations on human trafficking for all states and U.S. territories, available at the time of publication. Regulations are linked to online sources.


FTA released a new Independent Cost Estimates e-learning course to help FTA recipients better understand mandatory procurement requirements related to conducting an independent cost estimate. Complete this form to access the course.


U.S. DOT and the U.S. Department of Education developed a fact sheet on Bolstering Daily School Attendance Through Safe, Accessible, Reliable Transportation. It describes promising practices, resources, and funding opportunities to increase students’ access to safe, accessible, reliable transportation to and from school. 


FTA's August 2024 Transit Safety and Oversight Spotlight newsletter provides guidance on post-accident timing and the Transit Advisory Committee for Safety (TRACS) safety recommendations.


FTA published a quick reference guide that provides an overview of the expanded reporting requirements outlined in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law’s new requirements for reporting assaults on transit workers to the National Transit Database (NTD), as well as a quick reference guide for reduced reporters.

Webinars and Training

National Center for Applied Transit Technology (N-CATT) offers a hands-on online workshop geared toward transit agency staff, with little to no previous experience using GTFS, who want to create, analyze, and publish a GTFS feed for both public-facing and agency-facing applications.


The Native Learning Center will be launching a Learning Management System (LMS) with free training for Native Americans and those working within Indian Country. Individuals can preregister to use the LMS when it is available.


Various U.S. DOT University Transportation Systems are holding webinars this fall. Please see the Upcoming Events section of this newsletter for additional information. Topics include:

  • Opportunities for Improving Transit Travel Through Standardized Payments
  • Stochastic Ride Sharing System with Flexible Pickup and Drop-Off
  • The Environmental Impacts of Living Far from Work Locations
Publications

Former National RTAP Review Board member Julia Castillo, Executive Director of HIRTA Public Transit, and co-authors published Invisible Disabilities: Seeing the Unseen in TRB's TR News. The article explains what invisible disabilities are (for example: auditory impairments, color blindness, autism spectrum disorder, and others) and provides solutions for helping these passengers best access and use public transit.


The U.S. Access Board published Design Recommendations for Accessible Electric Vehicle Charging Stations. This technical assistance document outlines types of EV charging stations that must be accessible to persons with disabilities and requirements for accessibility standards, including fleet EV charging stations.


The National Aging and Disability Transportation Center's (NADTC) Planning and Facilitating Effective Meetings video provides strategies for increasing the effectiveness of your next meeting. Recommendations include finding the most effective person to facilitate the meeting, sending out an agenda in advance, communicating ground rules, and ending with action steps.


Smart Growth America and National Complete Streets Coalition's An Active Roadmap: Best Practices in Rural Mobility discusses rural transportation needs and challenges along with success stories from rural and small town communities across the country. The report defines rural typologies, the unique needs of rural communities, and how to incorporate active and multimodal transportation. 


US News and World Report published an article about the states with the most public transit usage. The researchers found that the top three were New York, Vermont, and Hawaii. The magazine Newsweek published a map showing this data.

Databases and Tools

FHWA's Interagency NEPA & Permitting Collaboration Tool (INPCT) is a collaboration tool designed to aid project managers and teams throughout the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) process for surface transportation projects. INPCT provides a centralized platform to manage the development of environmental documents and to support real-time collaboration and concurrent reviews among state and federal agencies.


The Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) updated its National Transportation Statistics (NTS). Updated data tables include Truck and Bus Occupant Safety Data, National Transportation and Economic Trends, and Transportation Operating Revenues.


Login.gov is a shared technology service from the U.S. General Services Administration (GSA) that provides authentication and identity verification capabilities to government agencies. Login.gov allows the public to use a single account to securely access services across participating government websites. The platform also offers state and local governments the ability to use its services.


Mobility Data's GTFS.org added a Community Section to help individuals get involved in the development of GTFS. It includes information about the GTFS specification amendment process and active projects that community members can become involved with.


The Transit Workforce Center (TWC) launched a new interactive map, which displays registered apprenticeship programs and mentorship programs at U.S. transit agencies. Clicking on a dot reveals information about the active apprenticeship/mentorship programs at each agency, the agency’s workforce-related statistics (such as wage, employee count, labor hours, and ridership), and links to Standards of Apprenticeship, which include details about qualifications, wages, hours, and training schedules.

Opportunities

The National Center for Mobility Management (NCMM) is working with Partners for Youth with Disabilities to understand the involvement of youth with disabilities in mobility management and transportation planning. They are asking mobility managers to participate in a survey on this topic. The survey closes today, September 12, 2024.


The Department of Labor is soliciting grant applications through September 16, 2024 for its YouthBuild program. This program provides funding to organizations providing pre-apprenticeship services that support education, occupational skills training, and employment services to opportunity youth, ages 16 to 24, who are performing meaningful work and service to their communities. 


The Local Infrastructure Hub is hosting a new set of Bootcamps. These Bootcamps are open for registration and run through Fall 2024. Bootcamp offerings are Building Resilient Infrastructure and Communities (BRIC), Flood Mitigation Assistance (FMA) program, and Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE).


The Reconnecting Communities Institute (RCI) is seeking organizations that want to receive technical assistance to support their community reconnection project through November 30, 2025. RCI provides no-cost capacity building support to grantees and potential grantees of the U.S. DOT’s Reconnecting Communities Pilot (RCP) Program.

Legislation

The U.S. Access Board is accepting written public comments through October 31, 2024 on its ongoing work on Developing Artificial Intelligence (AI) Equity, Access & Inclusion. The Access Board seeks to hear from the public on the impact of AI on accessibility and people with disabilities.


Access Board is also seeking comments through November 4, 2024 on its proposed rule to amend the accessibility guidelines for buildings and facilities covered by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 and the Architectural Barriers Act of 1968 to address the accessibility of electric vehicle charging stations. This proposed rule provides specifications for the accessibility of EV charging stations, including the EV charger, EV charging space, access aisles, and accessible routes. 


The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) is proposing to issue a new standard, titled Heat Injury and Illness Prevention in Outdoor and Indoor Work Settings. It would be a programmatic standard that would require employers to create a plan to evaluate and control heat hazards in their workplace. OSHA requests comments on the proposed rule by December 30, 2024.


FMCSA extended the comment period for its notice of review of guidance requesting public comment identifying and providing input on existing guidance documents that are good candidates for revision or rescission until September 26, 2024.
