[open-government-nyc:340] MTA open data policy & GIS shapefiles

[sromalewski]

Although I missed the MTA Developer Unconference, the Twitter stream
and the data policies announced at the event were inspiring. What a
shift in attitude and action by the new MTA leadership (and kudos to
everyone on this list who pushed them in the right direction)!

I've blogged about it at http://spatialityblog.com/2010/05/06/mta-data-in-gis-format/,
where I've also posted links to shapefiles of the data. The GTFS
format is flexible and powerful, but I thought it would be helpful to
create shapefiles of the data for anyone who wants to display bus
routes, subway stations, etc in a map layout or analyze them with GIS
(and even app developers who might want a stand-alone set of map
layers). The files are yours to use as you wish. Hope this is
helpful.
