Multi-modal Trip Planner OSM - Portland
Multi-modal Trip Planner OSM - Portland
Underlying Data is Open Street Map
Multi-modal trip planners can create routes that mix different modes of
travel. Not only can users plan a transit-only trip or a bike-only trip,
they can also plan a mixed mode trip—like biking to the train and then
continuing by train to their destinations.
Portland Regional Trip Planner
The new Portland Regional Trip Planner is a multi-modal trip planner funded by a pair of Metro Regional Travel Options Grants (2009-11 and 2011-13). October 15, 2011 is the formal launch date for TriMet’s beta release of the new trip planner and marks the first official deployment of a fully open source / open data trip planner by a major U.S. transit agency. RTP will replace TriMet’s transit-only trip planner after the beta test period of 3-6 months.

The technology behind RTP is called OpenTripPlanner. OpenTripPlanner’s worldwide developer community and broad user base has many advantages. As OpenTripPlanner improves, the Regional Trip Planner will improve. For more information about OpenTripPlanner, visit https://github.com/openplans/OpenTripPlanner/wiki/.
