Description:
Transit GIS teams spend hours manually processing GTFS data -- unzipping files, joining tables, and republishing layers -- every time a schedule changes. At agencies running multiple service change cycles per year, that adds up to days of staff time spent on work that should never require a human in the loop. GTFS-To-GIS eliminates that entirely. Built on FME and the ArcGIS platform, this Spatialty-designed automation pipeline ingests raw GTFS data and publishes it directly to your ArcGIS environment with zero manual intervention once deployed. The pipeline handles the full lifecycle of your transit data -- automated extraction, logic mapping, spatial transformation, and direct publishing -- turning a time-consuming manual process into a seamless background operation. Three Deployment Tiers GTFS-To-GIS is available in three tiers, each built on the same proven automation engine and customized to fit your agency's infrastructure: -GTFS-To-AGO: Pushes map-ready transit layers directly to your ArcGIS Online organization. Ideal for public-facing web maps, rider applications, and real-time service alerts. -GTFS-To-FileGDB: Automates the creation of a local File Geodatabase for agencies that perform heavy desktop analysis and cartographic production in ArcGIS Pro. -GTFS-To-eGDB: Our most robust tier, designed for Enterprise Geodatabase environments. Implements Relationship Classes, Geodatabase Domains, Subtypes, and Custom Query Layers to create a true single source of truth for your transit data. Built-In Quality Assurance Every deployment includes embedded validation logic that catches data inconsistencies -- missing stop coordinates, orphaned route shapes, and malformed geometries -- before they ever reach public-facing maps or internal dashboards. A Foundation That Grows With You Once your core GTFS pipeline is in place, Spatialty can extend it to bring in additional data streams, including GTFS-RT vehicle locations, asset management data, and APC ridership reporting -- building toward a fully integrated transit GIS platform.
