Orange County, California/OCTA

Orange County Transportation Authority (OCTA) is the transportation planning commission for Orange County, California in the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

Bus

Routes will be based on PTv2 schema, see Buses. Routes should be tagged with public_transport:version=2 if applicable. Add network=OC Bus and network:wikidata=Q6593059 and use the Name Suggestion Index preset to fill in the rest of the operator information. For the sake of simplicity and making the completion of this project possible in a timely manner, public_transport=stop_position for bus routes will not be used.

Stops that share the same place with Long Beach Transit (LBT) or Metro (LACMTA), for example, should use separate bus stops to avoid conflicting name=* and ref=*. They should be grouped together with a public_transport=stop_area relation.

Tagging Conventions

The official system map PDFs and "Next Ride" web app uses colors for different classes of routes, those will be used.

Coloring scheme:

• Route master:
  • Local Routes (1-99): colour=#00aeef
  • Community Routes (100-199): colour=#9b8679
  • OC Express Routes (200-299): colour=#3ab54a
  • Metrolink Stationlink Routes (400-499): colour=#ee1d23
  • Bravo Limited Stop Service (500-599): colour=#f58220
  • Xpress Stop Service: colour=#015da5
  • Express Service (700-799): colour=#653d89
  • City Shuttle (800-899): colour=#0c6638
• Routes: Do NOT use colour=*.
  • Routes inherit color from the route master.

Naming scheme:

• Route master: name=OC Bus X
  • X should be the route number.
• Routes: name=OC Bus X: A - B
  • A - B should be the official route name. If applicable flip to B - A for the opposite route.
  • Unlike conventional descriptive PTv2 route naming, do NOT use to=* and from=* as part of the route name.
  • Use spaces between the dash to keep in line with official naming. Some transit apps convert the "-" into a nicely formatted arrow, such as OsmAnd.
• Bus stops: Official OCTA stop name with no spaces between the dash. Example: name=Del Amo-Pioneer

Color and symbol legend

Symbol	Meaning
	Route status
	Stops status

Base Code	(None)	NA	0	1	2	3	4	X
r=... (Route)
	Unknown.	Unknown.	Route not mapped.	Route partially mapped.	Route mostly mapped.	Route is fully mapped using old route relation schema.	Route is fully mapped using new route relation schema (with public transport keys).	Route no longer exists.
h=... (Stops)
	Unknown.	Unknown.	Stop not mapped.	Stops partially mapped.	Stops mostly mapped.	Stops are fully mapped using old route relation schema.	Stops are fully mapped using new route relation schema (with public transport keys).	Stop no longer in use, or stop does not exist.

The codes 0-4 are a logical progression, but they do not all have to be used in sequence. Level 3 will be used to denote PTv1 and level 4 will be used for PTv2.

Import

• Data available under Public Domain.
• Routes can be found here OCTA GIS Open Data Portal bus-routes however the data was not used in the import.
• Bus stops were downloaded from OCTA GIS Open Data Portal bus-stops.
  • Data was downloaded as a CVS file and preprocessing was done in Excel. OCTA_ID was transformed into ref=*. ON_STREET and AT_STREET was combined into name=* delimited with a "-" to match official stop naming scheme. Source data was all uppercase and converted to title case so name capitalization may not be 100% accurate. Other source data was not used. Processed CSV file was added in JOSM using the OpenData plugin.
  • Stops are appended with source=OCTA GIS and have the OC Bus NIS preset added.
  • Imported stops were manually conflated with existing OCTA stops using the Conflation plugin.
  • The positions of the bus stops vary in accuracy from around 1 to 10 meters. The most unacceptable positions where manually moved if needed. A dozen erroneous stops that where several kilometers away from the dataset in the mountains and ocean were excluded.
