Travel Options What is Travel Options? Online statewide trip planner Joint project started with Oregon Department of Transportation WSDOT sole developer currently Provide online comprehensive trip planning for general public in Washington State

Travel Options Key Elements: Plan a trip in Pacific Northwest using alternative transportation options Private and Public Transportation providers statewide (cross jurisdictional) Provide trip planning information that meets American with Disabilities Section 508 requirements

Travel Options Key Elements: Platform built for automated data updates from transportation providers in Pacific Northwest Built to incorporate Oregon, Idaho and British Columbia transportation providers data

Travel Options Development Phases: Phase I: Intercity providers (Scheduled intercity bus providers, rail, ferries) Phase II: Public Transit providers Phase III: Scheduled Human Service Providers Assist providers to transition to Google Transit format

Travel Options Components:

Travel Options Components: Home Page: Designed to “OneDOT” brand Text based search-No Maps Meets ADA Section 508 Clear and understandable

Travel Options Components: Near Me Page: Shows transit routes and facilities near location Will show top three locations based on shortest distance from location

Travel Options Components: Search Results: Shows results based on mode selected Results based on first data search engine selects First two options shown Allows for search refinement

Travel Options Components: Search Refinement Results: Shows results based refinement selected Results based on fastest, fewest transfers or nearest available to desired departure and arrival times

Travel Options Components: Search Refinement Results: Allows user to also refine search for special needs

Travel Options Key Design Components: Not overload results with graphics and visual displays Displays results that dial-up connection users in rural areas can receive with minimal processing times Design automated data upload protocols from transportation providers

Travel Options Key Lessons Learned: Funding- Secure funding sources for development for all phases Manage Scope- Avoid tendency to add on Data Collection- Not all transportation providers have technical staff capable to assist Market Forces- Rapid change in field drives Innovation and other sources (Google Transit)

Travel Options Key Lessons Learned: Mapping- Difficulty in having maps meet ADA Section 508 compliance Mapping Part II- Not all GPS data is the same. Depends on collection methodology and criteria Operations and Maintenance- Requires full- time staff and capital replacement program for hardware

Travel Options Key Lessons Learned: Data Sharing Agreements- Needed for clear expectations for providers and WSDOT Partnerships- Seek out potential partners to share costs, collect and share data

Travel Options Questions? Stephen Abernathy, AICP
