| Abstract | This report describes the National Park Service’s pilot project to convert select NPS transit schedules to a digital format, known as General Transit Feed Specification (GTFS), in order to share more widely with the public. The GTFS pilot effort began in 2015. This report includes a summary of the pilot effort, key insights, and recommendations for next steps and future implementation by other parks. In general, the pilot experience suggests that GTFS will likely be most beneficial as one component of a broader, park-led effort to communicate with visitors about transportation options using official NPS tools. |
