Update and Enhance Open Dataset #427

Open hunterowens opened 2 years ago

hunterowens commented 2 years ago

Currently, we publish some aggregated GTFS data to the CA open data portal. This ticket was rewritten to separate the .zip requirements from the publishing requirements, which now exist as #1654

User Story

As a GTFS file consumer, I want to download a GTFS files containing all of the current schedule information for all transit agencies operating in California, so that I can do a variety of activities with GTFS data.

Acceptance Criteria

For each feed with service in California that meets criteria for inclusion in the statewide GTFS feed:

  1. Do user research to meet w/ stakeholders determine dataset needs.
  2. Publish the universe of files such as fares.txt or calendar.txt to the CA open data portal via weekly automated script.
  3. Data documentation through Caltrans GIS office process.

Additional Context

Additionally, even if we published the entire GTFS "dataset", we would want end users to maybe have access to different datasets that can be derived from GTFS, such as High Quality Transit Areas.

People to meet with (for @hunterowens to intro)

Helen Campbell, Gov Office of Planning and Research
Samer Bartaseh, Caltrans Data and Geospatial Mangement Branch Chief
Chad Baker / walter yu, Caltrans (for data documentation)
Henry McKay, Planner, Caltrans

Want to note that some of the files are missing a data dictionary and format, so they are not previewable in the browser: https://data.ca.gov/dataset/cal-itp-gtfs-ingest-pipeline-dataset/resource/e8f9d49e-2bb6-400b-b01f-28bc2e0e7df2 vs https://data.ca.gov/dataset/cal-itp-gtfs-ingest-pipeline-dataset/resource/53c05c25-e467-407a-bb29-303875215adc
