An embarassment
The Department of Transportation's Transitweb project awarded four agencies special recognition for their web sites. Unsurprisingly, three are in California:
www.bigbluebus.com, www.sfmuni.com, and www.vta.org. If these are the best, we're in trouble. Hell, we're in trouble anyways. Santa Monica's Big Blue Bus site stands out for its functional map.
The West Virgina agency cited by Volpe, Mountain Line, doesn't even adhere to web standards. The information is poorly-organised, inaccessible to people with disabilities, and out of date.
