Trillium clients launch on Google Transit

In the last eight weeks or so, several Trillium clients have launched on Google Transit.

• Redding Area Bus Authority (RABA) was a stakeholder in the Northeastern California Google Transit Feasibility Study.  Redding is a micro-urban city in Northern California on the inland Interstate 5 corridor.  Redding is a regional transportation hub, with neighboring transit services (Plumas, Modoc Sage Stage, and Trinity Transit) and intercity services (Greyhound, Amtrak) offering service.  [Example RABA trip]
• Trinity Transit was also a stakeholder in the Northeastern California Google Transit Feasibility Study. They are a rural system with some inter-city service.  [Example trip… note only works on Mondays and Tuesdays, you may have to adjust the date.]
• Siskiyou Transit and General Express (STAGE) was also a stakeholder in the Northeastern California Google Transit Feasibility Study. They are a rural, mainly inter-city transit service.
• Columbia Area Transit (CAT) operates intercity services between Hood River, The Dalles, and Portland, Oregon.  [Example trip.  Note the challenge to return Hood River to Portland service, which is only once per week.]
• Clemson Area Transit (CAT). The first agency in South Carolina to be live on Google Transit.
• Fairfield and Suisin Transit.  This agency connects with a lot of others (BART, Sacramento RT, Amtrak Capitol Corridor, Rio Vista Delta Breeze) that are live on Google Transit, which provides additional value for all.

As you can see, a busy season.  There are more to come soon.  Note that most of these agencies have chosen to make their data available at gtfs-data-exchange.com and the PublicFeeds page for developers to access it and build applications that help people use transportation services.
