Abstract
 GIS Methodologies Applied in LYNX, Central Florida's Regional Transportation Authority Track: Transportation Author(s): Stanimira Bourova The Central Florida Regional Transportation Authority (LYNX) provides transit service for Orange, Seminole, and Osceola counties and has employed GIS extensively for more than five years. Applications for display and analysis are in place and efforts to develop and improve our own data by integrating information available from regional agencies are ongoing. GIS tools generate values required for National Transit Database ridership reports utilizing a combination of geocoded bus stop locations and data collected by Automated Passenger Counter devices. As LYNX system updates occur, service and directional route miles are calculated for reporting purposes. The Authority is using both printed maps and internal ArcIMS services for evaluation of transit levels of service by jurisdiction and political districts as well as providing live access to LYNX data by staff. Future service planning is also conducted using demographic data from the Census, as well as local Traffic Analysis Zones and Development of Regional Impact data.
