2 min readApr 7, 2017
We’re excited to introduce you to our new network-wide buffers. This feature allows you to visualize the areas that fall within a certain distance of every stop in your network.
To view the network-wide buffer:
- Hover where the buffer distance is listed.
- Click on the eye icon.
- Change the radius — buffer distances can be set up to a distance of 2 miles (or 3200 meters).
- Ta-da, you’re done!
This feature could help you to:
- Show your service area coverage
- Help with first/last mile visuals
- Evaluate paratransit requirements for service for your network
- Visualize the difference in access between your existing network and a modified scenario as in the example below:
Your Customer Success Manager can run population and job demographics network-wide within these buffers to support your new visual.
Feel free to reach out to your CSM if you have questions. As always, we love to hear the ways you’re using this new feature.
