TriMet riders benefit from third-party apps

by Susan on July 17, 2009

The Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon, in Portland, has launched an app center on its website. More than two dozen free and commercial applications — from Google Transit to PDX Bus — showcase the range of third-party applications using TriMet’s open data.   “We have organized our data to make it easier for developers to use. Now that effort is paying off many times over with new innovations,” said Carolyn Young,  executive director of communications and technology.  “We share with others and get back benefits that everyone can access. We’re seeing — and our riders are experiencing — how sharing our data has positively impacted the way people use transit.” Link to TriMet’s app center.
