History of Open Trip Planner (OTP)

In 2009

• PROBLEM:

– Existing trip planning tools couldn’t hand multi-modal trips

– Proprietary software with expensive licensing/limited customization

• SOLUTION:

– TriMet funded and led development of an open source trip planning system

– This grew into what is now known as OTP

OTP has been widely adopted worldwide

What has changed since then?

Open source transit software environment has evolved

• OpenTripPlanner (OTP): multimodal trip planning

• The Transit Clock / Transitime: Arrival /departure predictions

• OneBusAway (OBA): real-time information and APIs

• OpenStreetMap (OSM): maps

• Pelias: geocoding

Open source transit software environment has evolved

• Active / vibrant development community

• Companies are available to help implement and provide support

• Low cost

• Feature rich

• Increasingly adopted by transit agencies

Shared use modes have proliferated

Transit data has moved beyond the schedule

• Real time information is now:

– Widely available

– With high quality

– In standardized formats

Current Problem

Solution
