The pilot projects will allow users to test functionality and identify issues before rolling out the trip planner statewide. Starting with a pilot in the northeast and panhandle regions allows NDOT’s Mobility Management Team to work with several travel modes and smaller transit agencies in a confined geographic area. The trip planner application can be used on a mobile phone or a computer web browser to assist travelers in identifying travel options between two or more points – often termed “trip discovery”. NDOT is conducting the pilot projects to determine feasibility for eventual statewide deployment. The Nebraska Department of Transportation (NDOT) has launched a public transit trip planner with a pilot project in the northeast and panhandle regions of Nebraska.
