Chapter 1: Indicators for Transit Oriented Developmentįollowing the Introduction, Chapter 1 introduces indicators as an important tool for simplifying and communicating complex processes to non-technical decision makers. The sections below provide a description of each dataset and the original source, when applicable. However, for posterity, the DATA folder on this repo has all the data, organized by chapter. Each chapter includes API calls that read data directly into R. Readers can expect an introduction to R, geospatial data science, and machine learning, conveyed through real world use cases of data science in government.Īll of the book's data is free and open source, compiled from across the web. Designed for students studying City Planning and related disciplines, the book teaches both code and context toward improved public-sector decision making. The book is available online and eventually, in print. If you're going within that time period - the El is running so frequently the times aren't even listed on the schedule. You can see where it is in real time with TransitView - also available on the SEPTA App.Ĭonnections at Suburban Station: Regional Rail, Market-Frankford Line, Broad Street Line, and Bus Routes 2, 4, 16, 17, 27, 31, 32, 33, 38, 44, 48, 62, and 124, 125 as well as Trolley Routes 10, 11, 13, 34, and 36.Ĭonnections at 30th Street Station: Amtrak, NJ Transit, Regional Rail, Market-Frankford Line, and Bus Routes 9, 30, 31, 44, 49, 62, 124, 125, and LUCY, as well as Trolley Routes 10, 11, 13, 34, and 36.Ĭonnections at Jefferson Station: Regional Rail, Market-Frankford Line, Broad-Ridge Spur, and Bus Routes 17, 23, 33, 38, 44, 47, 47M, 48, 61, and 62.Public Policy Analytics is a new book by Ken Steif, Ph.D that teaches at the intersection of data science and public policy. That means - it runs every 15 minutes or less for at least 15 hours a day (6a-9p), 5 days a week. It runs very frequently from approximately 4:45a to midnight. One of the best parts of the El is that it's a 15-15-5 route. This is the workhorse of the system - SEPTA's most popular route. Then - it turns north and travels through Northern Liberties, Fishtown, and Kensington before arriving at its destination at Frankford Transportation Center. It then travels west on Market Street - making stops in West Philly, University City, Center City, and Old City.

The Market-Frankford Line - also known as the El or the Blue Line - starts in Upper Darby - just outside of West Philly. The Market-Frankford Line is a subway-elevated route.
