Transitland Station Editor is a full-featured and commercially supported package for creating GTFS-Pathways data. Transit agencies and their vendors use Transitland Station Editor to integrate detailed station accessibility data into their existing GTFS feeds.
Transitland Station Editor is offered as a fully managed "software as a service" (SaaS). Subscriptions include:
Transitland Station Editor provides a 3D view for visualizing multi-level transit station complexes.
desktop and tablet access via web browser
user accounts for an unlimited number of staff members
aerial imagery basemap (with a commercial license that allows users to trace station outlines)
built-in validation logic to ensure that data complies with the GTFS-Pathways specification
built-in testing to ensure GTFS-Pathways data for a station is topologically connected, without broken, disconnected "islands"
documentation, including Interline's "GTFS-Pathways style guide" based on our team's experience creating GTFS-Pathways data for dozens of real-world stations
an onboarding training call by video and ongoing professional support by email
Questions & Answers
What is GTFS-Pathways?
GTFS-Pathways is an extension to the GTFS transit schedule data specification to describe the layout and accessibility of transit stations. Pathways are topological representations that use stop "nodes" and pathway "edges" to articulate the network structure of a station. Stations can have multiple levels, with stair, escalator, and elevator pathways connecting the levels. Pathways can be marked as accessible to riders in wheelchairs, with strollers, with bicycles, and other specific mobility requirements. Entrances, exits, and boarding platforms can be labeled with names and codes, which riders can use to match directions in trip-plans to in-station signage.
What type of station complex can be mapped using Transitland Station Editor?
Transitland Station Editor can be used to map a wide variety of stations: multi-level station complexes, underground subway stations, transit centers surrounded by bus bays.
If we create GTFS-Pathways using Transitland Station Editor, do we also need to use the entire Transitland platform?
No. Transitland Station Editor provides multiple means for publishing GTFS-Pathways data. Export the data to include in your agency's existing GTFS systems. Or optionally host your GTFS feed directly from the Transitland platform.
