If you’re interested in developing applications using data from PSTA, this set of data offerings will be able to help you create cool new applications and mashups that will help people get the information they want or need about PSTA services, wherever (and whenever) they want to receive it.
The information provided through data feeds includes static schedule and service data using an open standard, and APIs that can get you up-to-the-minute information from RidePSTA.net (PSTA Real Time
Bus Information).
We are constantly working to improve available tools and content, and we welcome your feedback. You can send an email to ride@psta.net or visit our Contact Us page.
To use PSTA’s APIs or data offerings in your own applications or mashups, you’ll need to read and agree to our License Agreement (.pdf).

While we provide the data and maintain the sources, we’re not able to provide support directly in how to write your software. We do, however, provide some pointers and tips to help get you started. There are also some helpful resources online, which we're happy to point you to.
