Discoverability is at the heart of mobility: travelers need to know
33-
the mobility options available and understand their intricacies to
34-
plan their journey; app creators need simplified access to data to
35-
relay to app users. Discoverability is the cement of the community
36-
that MobilityData is building around open data formats (such as GTFS
37-
and GBFS) and their datasets.

A need to improve discoverability gave rise to the TransitFeeds.com
41-
project, which made it easier to find and query accurate and
42-
up-to-date GTFS, GTFS Realtime, GBFS, and datasets. This project was
43-
housed by MobilityData following a transition from ActionFigure
44-
(formerly TransitScreen).

This database is hosted and maintained by MobilityData, the global

non-profit organization dedicated to the advancement of open
23+
transportation data standards.

MobilityData created a long-term roadmap for the project, taking into
48-
account the repeated historic challenges the GTFS repositories have
49-
encountered and the need to expand to accommodate additional modes of
50-
transport and data formats.

60-
MobilityData began in 2015 as a Rocky Mountain Institute project and
61-
became a Canadian non-profit in 2019 with the mission to improve
62-
traveler information. Building on the strength of nearly 20 employees,
63-
MobilityData brings together and supports mobility stakeholders such
64-
as transport agencies, software vendors, mobility apps, and cities to
65-
standardize and expand data formats for public transport (GTFS) and
66-
shared mobility (GBFS).

<Typography className='answer'>
45+
The Mobility Database provides free access to historical and current
46+
GTFS, GTFS Realtime, and GBFS feeds from around the world. These feeds
47+
are checked for updates every day, ensuring that the data you’re
48+
looking at is the most recent data available.
49+
<br /> <br />
50+
In addition to our database, we develop and maintain other tools that
51+
integrate with it such as&#20;
