N-CATT March 2024 Workshop on Free GIS Tools for Transit Analysis and Map Making
-
Is your transit agency interested in upping your GIS analysis or map-making skills? Are you looking for free GIS tools that will help make your transit planning better?
This hands-on workshop for transit agency staff with little to no prior GIS experience will bring together experts and participants to explore:
- How to access and use free GIS tools, such as QGIS;
- How to make maps and perform transit planning analyses; and
- Approaches and tools – both fancy and simple! – that can be used to successfully implement new mapping technology in your transit planning.
Each of these topics will be illustrated with engaging, hands-on activities that will allow participants to explore the concepts and tools they can apply to their home systems.
The workshop will include three virtual half-day sessions, each from 1:30 p.m. to 4:30 Eastern, on March 26, 27, and 28.
The workshop will include optional take-home activities which will explain how to apply the methods from the workshop examples to your own local analysis.
AICP CM credits will be available for the workshop: 2.25 CM for each session.
The following pages of this registration form include several survey questions. Your responses will give us valuable input to make the workshop as relevant as possible to you and your agency.
We appreciate the broad interest that exists around this topic. However, this workshop is formatted for transit agency practitioners to allow them to freely exchange ideas and discuss best practices. Because N-CATT is a technical assistance center funded by the FTA to support small-urban, rural, and tribal transit agencies, registration priority will be given to small-urban, rural, and tribal transit agencies. Other agencies, members of the private sector, and transit advocacy groups who are interested in the workshop will be placed on the waiting list, with access to the workshop based on availability.
Space is limited, register ASAP to reserve your spot!
