Walkscore Transit
Walkscore is a website that ranks the walkability of a location based on what is around it and how far away it is. A high Walkscore means that you live in a walkable neighborhood with close access to everything that you need. A low Walkscore means that you are going to have to use your car to get to the basics of life, unless you like walking long distances. Walkscore calculates the score of a location based on an evolving algorithm that now includes the public transportation lines for many cities in the US (and more are being added all the time). By including public transportation lines, the Walkscore number is now more accurate than ever. However, Walkscore is asking for your help. Many cities will not publish their transportation routes to the public internet via a feed, but they will provide it to Google. Walkscore needs this information in order to bring their new algorithm to all of the supported areas. Cut the red tape and let the information flow, Sign the Walk Score Transit Feed Petition
