Go to www.networkedtraveler.org for more information about PATH2Go,
Here are some details:

"PATH2Go" integrates a suite of web-based and mobile-phone-based
applications to provide travelers with real-time, multimodal transit
information. The web-based trip planner allows you to plan and compare
trips using any combination of driving and/or transit. You can compare
trips using different modes of travel based on travel time, cost, or
even the carbon footprint. Once you have planned a trip, you can then
send that trip to your mobile phone application, which will provide
you with real-time updates on bus or train arrival times.Your mobile
phone will even give you an alert when approaching your stop!

The project is actually a research field test that is being conducted
by California PATH (Partners for Advanced Transit and Highways) at
U.C. Berkeley in partnership with Caltrans, the Research and
Innovative Technology Administration (RITA), of the U.S. Department of
Transportation), the Metropolitan Transportation Commission (MTC),
Santa Clara Valley Transportation Authority (VTA), San Mateo County
Transit District (SamTrans) and private partners including NAVTEQ,
ParkingCarma, and SpeedInfo. Networked Traveler was funded as part of
the U.S. Department of Transportation's IntelliDrive program, and is
being conducted from August to November, 2010.

The PATH2Go mobile application was designed to provide both transit
and park-and-ride information and alerts. It should not be used while
you are driving. "Geofencing" has been incorporated to prevent PATH2Go
application to be used when used in a car. When such circumstance is
detected, a warning "Application Disabled while Driving" together with
a graphical sign (triangle and exclamation point icon) will be
displayed.
