After almost two years of hard work, TCRP Project G-18 is nearing conclusion. This project has developed a standard structure for historical fixed route ITS data, along with a set of supporting tool requirements, that will enable transit agencies, vendors, and researchers to share data structures, practices, and tools. The final report is still being drafted, but the project team is ready to share preliminary materials.

As the research wraps up, the Transit ITS Data Exchange Specification (TIDES) Project group is ramping up again to carry on this work.  A key finding of the research is the need to establish a home to support the adoption and ongoing development and maintenance of the proposed data formats and software tools. 

This TIDES Update meeting will be a great opportunity for you to learn about the proposed data structure and help chart the next steps of this work.  I hope you can join us.  Use this link to register
