Transit System Analysis iv CHAPTER 1 | INTRODUCTION In January 2019, the City of Joplin initiated the Joplin Transit Comprehensive Operational Analysis (COA). The objective of the Comprehensive Operational Analysis is to analyze existing transit service; engage the community and local stakeholders about the role of public transit; develop transit service design guidelines; conduct an alternatives analysis; and identify short-term, medium-term, and long-term service plans. There are three primary transit modes operating in the Joplin area: . Flex Route Bus Service: The Metro Area Public Transit System (MAPS) operates three flex routes known as the Sunshine Lamp Trolley. Demand Response (MAPS): MAPS operates demand response and paratransit service within the Joplin city limits and adjacent communities within the Joplin Metropolitan Area. Demand Response (OATS): OATS, Inc. is the rural and small urban demand response provider for Missouri. OATS operates intercity trips to and from Joplin on specific days, as well service outside the city limits for residents not served by the flex route bus service. 1.1 Study Area The study area encompasses the urbanized 2018 MAPS service area including Joplin and surrounding communities of Carl Junction, Carterville, Webb City, Duquesne, Duenweg, Silver Creek, Saginaw, Leawood, Redings Mill, Airport Drive, several other smaller jurisdictions. The study area is identified in Exhibit 1.1. 1.2 Document Review The following relevant

  • Marion Meginnis HP 601 December 3, 2014 Term Paper Intent and Outcome: a River Town Retrieves Its Past in 1979, Davenport
    Marion Meginnis HP 601 December 3, 2014 Term Paper Intent and Outcome: A River Town Retrieves Its Past In 1979, Davenport began a massive multiple listing effort to nominate properties to the National Register. For Iowa, the effort was unprecedented; it was the first such nomination to be approved by the state and its scope was larger than that of any other Iowa municipality.1 When completed in the 1980’s, more than half of all Iowa National Register properties were located in Davenport.2 In many cities across America, the 1966 passage of the National Historic Preservation Act, the development of state historic preservation offices and enthusiasm for local history surrounding the nation’s Bicentennial celebration triggered local preservation efforts like Davenport’s. Other factors impacting cities and society in the 1970s and 1980s were also in play--a shrinking downtown and move to the suburbs, new voices in the political arena, aggressive transportation planning and dramatic shifts in the area’s economy-- that helped and hindered historic preservation in the old town by the Mississippi. For those whose lives were touched by the effort in Davenport as activists, politicians, business people, journalists, or citizens, what occurred…or is remembered today…varies over the two decades being explored. Davenport is a Mississippi River town platted in 1836 by French/Native American trader Antoine LeClaire. Its geography confuses the unfamiliar since it is sited at one of the few places where the great river flows west. So what would be “west” for most Mississippi River towns is Davenport’s “north.” Any discussion of the city must include a mention of its Iowa and Illinois sister cities.

  • Explore: an Attraction Search Tool for Transit Trip Planning
    Explore: An Attraction Search Tool for Transit Trip Planning Explore: An Attraction Search Tool for Transit Trip Planning Kari Edison Watkins, Brian Ferris, and G. Scott Rutherford University of Washington Abstract Publishing information about a transit agency’s stops, routes, schedules, and status in a variety of formats and delivery methods is an essential part of improving the usabil- ity of a transit system and the satisfaction of a system’s riders. A key staple of most transit traveler information systems is the trip planner, a tool that serves travelers well if the both origin and destination are known. However, sometimes the availabil- ity of transit at a location is more important than the actual destination. Given this premise, we developed an Attractions Search Tool to make use of an underlying trip planner to search online databases of local restaurants, shopping, parks and other amenities based on transit availability from the user’s origin. The ability to perform such a search by attraction type rather than specific destination can be a powerful aid to a traveler with a need or desire to use public transportation. Background Publishing information about a transit agency’s stops, routes, schedules, and status in a variety of formats and delivery methods is an essential part of improving the ease of use of a transit system and the satisfaction of a system’s riders. No longer the domain of just simple printed schedules, transit traveler information systems have grown to include route maps and timetables, trip planners, real-time track- ers, service alerts, and others tools made available across cell phones, web brows- ers, and new Internet devices as driven by rider demand (Multisystems 2003).

  • Collaborative Research and Mapping for Public Transit Anywhere
    Collaborative Research and Mapping for Public Transit Anywhere Application for IRU BUS Excellence Award July 2015 Vision/Goals Across the world, cities depend on buses as the critical core of their public transit system. In Africa, Asia, Latin America and elsewhere, transport authorities often do not exist and numerous operators run bus systems under the difficult conditions of high levels of informality. This means little to no information on routes, stops, fares and schedules (if they exist) is usually available. Yet this information is key to improving services, planning and providing basic passenger information important to smoother functioning of the system and higher customer satisfaction. This, in turn, is critical to a more sustainable, cleaner, low carbon future for these cities. Created to address this problem, Digital Matatus is a key player in the movement to leverage technological innovation, open data and collaborative networks to improve transportation in cities that depend on bus systems with high degrees of informality. We aim to make the bus services in these cities more visible, legible, service oriented, efficient, and open. Our work consists of engaging with operators, government, technology firms and civil society in a collaborative process to develop high quality open data on buses in standardized format that allows access to new tools. Through a collaborative process we support a community of users who can build on the data to generate innovation around transit applications, planning tools and passenger information systems. We support both the development of user-friendly technology for data collection Collaborative Research and Mapping for Public Transit Anywhere and local institutionalization of the knowledge and techniques of data collection to ensure long term, sustained data collection for bus improvements.
