Data sources

Otranspo separates authoritative provider data, derived calculations, and community reports.

Transit schedules, realtime information, and alerts

OC Transpo schedule and realtime data is obtained through its developer services. Official service updates are read from the operator’s published English and French feeds. STO schedules use its public GTFS archive, and its standard GTFS-RT vehicle, trip-update, and service-alert feeds are read through scoped developer access. Each operator’s availability is reported independently.

Maps and places

Transit geometry comes from the same imported GTFS feed used for schedules. Street-map tiles and geocoding are enabled only for a configured provider whose production use has been approved.

The cycling layer joins two official municipal sources while preserving jurisdiction: only City of Ottawa EXISTING segments and Ville de Gatineau T.Q.C (as-built) segments are drawn. Proposed, planning, incomplete, and construction records remain excluded. Gatineau district boundaries are official; Gatineau washrooms and drinking-water points are community-mapped OpenStreetMap evidence, explicitly not City-verified.

Map attribution remains visible in the interactive map. Otranspo does not cache third-party map tiles for offline use.

Weather

Weather-dependent routing or advice is not presented unless the configured Environment and Climate Change Canada source is current and its source label is visible.
