5. Problems Public Transit Trails Social
Obtain and combine information from various public transit services to find routes to outdoor trips
Trails
Get information on the conditions of the trails, where they are, trip duration, and the necessary gear
Social
How can social media be applied for planning outdoor trips?

6. Top Problem: Public Transit
Must integrate schedule and route information for different public transit systems
Existing public transit route-finding software not suitable for locating trailheads or other outdoor activity locations
Determine what outdoor activities can be accessed with public transit

7. Why Public Transit?
Usage of public transit is necessary to allow people without cars to access the outdoors
We must find information on schedules, routes, and various modes of transit available that could be used to access trails.

8. Analysis of Problem Significance
Many people in Seattle are interested in the outdoors or seek escape from the city
Major obstacles that keep people from reaching outdoor destinations are lack of transportation and difficulty figuring out how to reach destinations.
Existing resources on hiking with public transit are not up-to-date or well-maintained
Our tool will open up outdoor trips for more people.

9. Analysis of Problem Stakeholders Outdoor enthusiasts
Those without cars or enough space in a vehicle
Those with cars who wish to reduce environmental impact
Social groups/associations such as:
College greek groups
Public school groups
Public transit entities
Have an interest because our tool may increase the number of people who use their services

transitandtrails.org
Our basic idea but for only the Bay Area California
Includes only trails and directions submitted by users
Clearly a lack of quality control
