MISC | Transportation Ridership and Weather Data

skysdalimit · November 30th, 2009, 04:38 AM

Hey guys, I'm doing my city planning final paper on the link between public transit ridership and weather to see if there are drastic changes between ridership and weather extremities. I was wondering if you guys would know where I would find daily (or monthly) ridership data for Denver and Charlotte (light rail and/or bus system) as well as weather data so I can plot ridership vs. temp/precip/humidity? I looked on the NOAA site for weather, but I couldn't find the historical data, and I don't know what site to use for Denver and Charlotte transit data. I would really appreciate all your help.

Thanks.

you could try emailing RTD for information, they ought to be keeping track of those things and as a public agency i don't think they have any reason to hide that kind of thing
