Who we serve Transit
Websites for transit agencies.
Riders come to plan a trip, find out whether their bus is late and buy a pass.
Ferrowmere Transit is fictional, an example site by LFW.
What residents come to do.
Most riders read the site at a stop, on a phone, in a hurry. Every page is built for that rider first.
Trips and schedules
A trip planner, route maps and timetables by line, built from the same GTFS feed that trip apps read.
Service alerts
Detours, delays and stop closures by route, posted by your staff in a minute, with email and text sign-ups.
Fares and passes
Fares, the online pass store, reduced-fare applications and where to buy in person.
The GTFS feed
A permanent address for your GTFS and GTFS Realtime files, with the license and a contact for developers.
Paratransit
Eligibility, the application, booking rules and the reservations line, in accessible formats.
Board and service changes
Agendas, public hearings on fare and service changes and your Title VI notice, where riders can find them.
What the law expects.
The rules that shape this kind of site, each linked to its source. We read them before we build, and your counsel has the last word.

Accessible information
A transit provider must make adequate information about its services available to riders with disabilities, through accessible formats and technology, so they can get information and schedule service.

A public GTFS feed

Open meetings
A public board posts notice and an agenda before it meets. Each state’s open-meetings law sets how far ahead and where, and the rules differ by state.

Moving your transit agency off a platform.
What the agreements say about renewal, notice and your data, and what moving takes, step by step.
What it costs.
Prices are the same for every kind of public institution.
Care, $250 a month
Updates and security patches, off-site backups, uptime checked every minute and broken links found daily. Cancel any time.
A site you made, kept
A site you make yourself in your browser is already built, so there is no setup fee: Care starts the month you keep it.
Projects, at a fixed price
An accessibility audit and fix plan is $3,500; a district rebuild is $9,500. Larger scopes and RFPs are quoted in writing.
