Course Description

Service and operations planning for transit is not typically taught in planning school, so it tends to be somewhat of a black box for trained planners and members of the public alike. While transit planners all over the world have developed sophisticated methods of planning and evaluating transit, the principles of service design remain relatively simple.

In this course, we will review the principles of transit service design and how to allocate and account resources. We will also use the Remix software platform to design and evaluate a new transit route.

I absolutely loved this course. I wish I'd had it 25 years ago. I've been a transit activist for that long, and I lived in Seattle for 20 years but hadn't heard of Remix. It really gives a good insight into the back end of service planning and the tradeoffs involved. I'd be thrilled to have it to play with service ideas I've thought of over the years. The messages here fit well with Jarrett Walker's Planetizen course, and I'm a huge fan of his.

I only have two small suggestions: the cue cards need to be closer to the camera, because it was distracting to see Emily looking between the two. And there was a point where 1 mile was shown as equal to 1600km, when it should be 1.6. ;)
