About the 1-hour Presentation:
Public Transportation and Google: answers to some of the most
frequently asked questions about Google Transit, and an overview of
how to get your agency's data onto the Google Transit Trip Planner.

In February, Tom Sly delivered similar presentations at APTA
TransITech in New Orleans, and at the APTA Marketing and
Communications workshop in Las Vegas. The purpose of this Webinar is to provide agencies with an update on a couple of exciting new developments with the Google Transit Program and to provide agencies with the opportunity to hear directly from two of our participating agencies.

Tom Sly is part of Google's New Business Development team, where he
is focused on supporting new products through strategic partnerships.

with the Google Transit Trip Planner.
