Thank you Lynn. if you find out it is not a google product, would you please pass on to them my comments thatt the google product would interface with gps navigation systems for the blind, in case they would consider providing google the needed info? thanks.

I beta tested such a thing a few years back using Star Metro data. I will check on the trip planner and report back to the list. ----- Original Message ----- From: Allison and <mailto:acorange@xxxxxxxxxxx> Chip Orange To: tabi@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Sent: Tuesday, May 17, 2011 12:17 PM Subject: [tabi] Re: Fw: City of Tallahassee News Release - StarMetro Updates Website with New System Information I think it's a real shame that StarMetro chose to reinvent the wheel with their own trip planner, rather than send their info to Google, which already has an accessible trip planning system, and which also happens to interface with the navigation systems for the blind. Mr. Waterman, how about it? could yo also send the trip info to Google Transit?

The updated website features route maps and timetables for the new system. "Until the launch of the new system, customers will also be able to access our current route information," said Ron Garrison, executive director of StarMetro. "Even though we are two months away from the launch of the new system, we felt that it was necessary to begin publicizing the new route maps and time tables." In the near future, StarMetro will implement additional changes to help improve the customer experience. Closer to the launch of the new system, two new web applications - trip planning and online fare purchase - will also launch. With the trip planning application, StarMetro customers will be able to type in a beginning point, end point and arrival time; the application will then relay to the customer a detailed travel itinerary using StarMetro's new system. With the online fare purchase application, StarMetro customers will be able to purchase a 31-day fare card using their personal credit card via Talgov.com/StarMetro.
