• Update site to reflect license and attribution to illustrator

Hi, @thekaveman and team! Gillian and Lilly asked that we:

• upload this Cal-ITP_CashApp_CaseStudy.pdf for hosting on calitp.org

(But not link it to site content yet.)

Not sure if it's as compressed as you'd like. I think that Chris Arvin (who has dropped off this project) compressed it as part of their routine export process, but I am not sure.

Thanks in advance for uploading this as soon as you're able! We will then link to it from our bitly linked-in-bio microsite.

Readme should include

• sufficient information to deploy locally by another developer
• names of contributors, esp those who are not on GitHub

See work in cal-itp/benefits#573

• Configure GH_PROJECT secret in this repo
• Allow access to the org-wide GH_PROJECTS_TOKEN secret
• Add workflow file using template

We should be able to run this site locally in a known environment, regardless of operating system and local resources. This will help in testing updates to dependencies, bugfixes, and other feature development.

A simple Docker Compose set up would be sufficient to start.

Hello! Our calitp.org site needs 3 content updates to reflect current project status + correct a newly outdated email address. Below please find the 3 site sections that need a text update + the existing text & new text and hyperlinks.

Please reach out to me + Harrison (& CC Jess) with any Qs. Thanks!

Hi there! We have a new PDF called 2021 Accomplishments Report to upload / host on calitp.org + a new content blurb from which to link to that PDF.

1. PDF of 2021 Accomplishments Report: Coming tonight!
2. Content blurb (note: approved by Gillian):
Under Getting to work section, please add this third paragraph:
Throughout 2021, Cal-ITP forged new partnerships and live-tested solutions, advancing our vision across our three primary project areas. Check out our 2021 Accomplishments Report XXadd link to PDFXX for complete details on our contactless payment demonstration projects and other ways in which our teams tackled mobility service data, payment acceptance, and eligibility for discounts and benefits.

High level requirements:

• Shortens context about the program
• Adds scrollable initiatives view
• Adds Resources page
• Adds Press page
• Improves navigation to relevant content (for bitly site replacement)

Designs in progress here: https://www.figma.com/file/TfWk1iDHdlt7bSA3DjQuQv/Mobility-Marketplace?node-id=5299-23559&t=0sznFMu9eKaRxejn-0

Hello! To reflect the launch of Cal-ITP Benefits and the release of the Market Sounding on Mobility Accounts, GG asked that we make edits to the calitp.org homepage:

1. Automating customer discounts
Change text block under this header from:
Cal-ITP is working with state partners to streamline the process for riders to instantly qualify for and receive discounts across all California transit providers without having to prove eligibility to each agency. Older adults, youth, lower-income riders, veterans, people with disabilities, and others will be able to access free or reduced fares without the hassle of paperwork.

to:
Our Cal-ITP Benefits web application streamlines the process for transit riders to instantly qualify for and receive discounts, starting with Monterey-Salinas Transit (MST), which offers a half-price Senior Fare. Now older adults (65+) with a California DMV–issued ID are able to access MST's reduced fares without the hassle of paperwork.

We worked with state partners on this product launch, and next we're working to bring youth, lower-income riders, veterans, people with disabilities, and others the same instant access to free or reduced fares across all California transit providers, without having to prove eligibility to each agency.

2. Getting to work
Change 2nd text block (do not amend paragraph 1) under this header from:
In August 2020, Cal-ITP and partners gathered input from marketplace companies to gauge capabilities and interest in supporting payment issuance. Cal-ITP’s 3rd Market Sounding Report: Payment Issuance for California Transit was published in December 2020.

to (and please notice Design's varying "colored highlight" text treatment for links in this section):
In 2020, Cal-ITP and partners gathered input from marketplace companies to gauge capabilities and interest in supporting payment issuance. The findings were documented in Cal-ITP’s 3rd Market Sounding Report: Payment Issuance for California Transit and led to Cal-ITP collaborating with the California Air Resources Board (CARB) in 2021 to understand the market for mobility accounts. Highlights from interviews with companies, transit agencies, and nonprofit and academic stakeholders can be found in the Market Sounding Report: Mobility Accounts.

For this new url, please link to an upload of this PDF:
Mobility Accounts Market Sounding Summary Report_FINAL_Oct2021.pdf

In #27 / #28 we updated some content in the center (blue) block on the homepage. The original update called for two paragraphs, but when making the change in index.html, that center block couldn't contain all the content:

Need to figure out why the SVG wouldn't scale appropriately, and ultimately we would like to separate the content back into two paragraphs.

/cc @esquared415

Hello! As soon as you're able, we need a sentence replaced to reflect a deadline change.

• In the 4th paragraph under "Getting to work" section, please change last line to:
  Interested parties are asked to click the above link, read the instructions, and respond by no later than 3:00 p.m. (PDT) on April 15th, 2022 (we've extended the deadline from April 1st).

Thanks @thekaveman and team!

Hi, @thekaveman @angela-tran @machikoyasuda!

The Rebels have asked that we host this Cal-ITP Bike Share Market Sounding PDF on calitp.org:
Bikeshare Market Sounding_20230403.pdf

This PDF will need to be uploaded to the site by late Sunday (4/2), so that it can be linked to when social comms go out on Monday morning European time.

Please let me know if there could be any issues with getting the PDF posted on this timeline. Thank you!!

• Upload PDF to link from within the below new content:
  Cal-ITP_MarketConsultation_BenefitsAdministrator.pdf

• To the "Getting to work" section, please add this new 4th paragraph—and please add a color behind the link to the PDF (as is the style for this section):
  In March 2022, Cal-ITP announced its [Market Consultation: Benefits Administrator], inviting companies to contribute answers to a set of five questions that could shape the way that California residents qualify for and receive benefits, starting with transit discounts. Interested parties are asked to click the above link, read the instructions, and respond by no later than 3:00 p.m. (PDT) on March 23rd, 2022.

@thekaveman If this PDF and content could be posted on Thursday morning, that would be awesome! Thanks!

Hello! I at last have the Payments Data Lessons Learned Case Study ready to post.

As soon as you're able, please:

• upload this Cal-ITP_PaymentsDataLessonsLearned_CaseStudy_2022.pdf for hosting on calitp.org

(There's no site content to link it to yet.)

Thanks in advance! I will link the URL you generate in our bitly linked-in-bio micro site right away, and then I'll circle back soon to craft calitp.org site content as well.

Thank you, @thekaveman @angela-tran @machikoyasuda!

We need to add a redirect --

Hi again @machikoyasuda @thekaveman @angela-tran!

The Rebels asked that we update the PDF for the Bikeshare Market Sounding.

Could you please replace the PDF at https://www.calitp.org/assets/Bikeshare.Market.Sounding_20230403.pdf with
Bikeshare.Market.Sounding_20230403_rev.pdf

Please preserve that URL (as we already have social posts linked to that URL).

Thank you!

Starting with Monterey-Salinas Transit, Cal-ITP and partners like Visa are demonstrating how a transit provider that has traditionally used cash and agency-specific fare cards can accept contactless bank card payments like any other merchant.

And to make it easier and more affordable for public transportation providers anywhere in the U.S. to acquire the building blocks of contactless payments, the California Department of General Services (DGS)—in collaboration with Cal-ITP—conducted a Request for Proposal that established Master Service Agreements (MSAs) allowing public transportation providers to purchase contactless payments hardware and software directly from vendors without further competitive bidding. Learn about and view the MSAs.

Now that are going to add dedicated Press and Resources pages to the calitp.org site, we should audit the current content and make sure we are not above the limit for hosting on Github (1GB).

Todos:

• Audit to determine total space remaining
• Make recommendations, if applicable, about optimizing size/storage
• Cross reference existing docs with not yet added docs (Marissa TODO using https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1xJpgr8JBG9TgZF2mHB8Vjnhu453No4dHoNjFIhb0FQw/edit#gid=0)

The hero image is using an SVG instead of a PNG and some wonkiness is happening with the image (see where it says Next Train and the tap symbol). There is a link to the correct image in the website assets folder called hero-header.png:
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/2/folders/1pi_ifZ7ovg6_J80PkTekv3BR507c8Xfg

Heads-up @thekaveman @angela-tran @machikoyasuda:

I will very shortly be sharing a press release PDF to upload to calitp.org (prepping that PDF now!).

It will need to be posted tomorrow (Fri 10/14) morning—or else we'll run into Visa's quiet period ahead of their month-end earnings call.

Please let me know if you foresee any issues with getting the posted on this timeline. Thank you!

When I click the navigation link, it cuts off the header text. For example, I clicked Fast Facts, and the header text is hidden behind the menu. (This happens on a 15inch laptop screen)

I need the following PDF hosted on calitp.org so we can link to it from various email communications:
2023-04 FTA GTFS Announcement.pdf

Thank you!

This site takes much longer to build than our other Netlify sites. Here are some stats just from the last few weeks:

Looking at the build logs for this site, I see a ton of time being spent on the sassc Gem (nearly the full 3 minute build time):

Let's clean this up!

👋 Hello! We are ready to share ODS news! 🎉 @thekaveman and team, could you please do the following as soon as you're able?

All requested changes are to the "Getting to work" section of the site:

• In the 4th paragraph under "Getting to work" section, please delete this last line (as deadline has passed; rest of paragraph is ok to leave as-is):
  Interested parties are asked to click the above link, read the instructions, and respond by no later than 3:00 p.m. (PDT) on April 15th, 2022.

• Upload ODS press release PDF to link from within the below new content:
  Cal-ITP Unveils New Open Data Standard to Improve Transit Agency Operations.pdf

• To the "Getting to work" section, please add this new 5th paragraph—and please add a color behind the link to the PDF (as is the style for this section):
  In June 2022, Cal-ITP [announced a new open data standard] to improve transit agency operations and promote an interoperable transit ecosystem by improving the flow of data and information sharing. The Operational Data Standard (ODS) leverages the existing GTFS standard used by transit agencies and riders all over the world for transit service information and extends it to include data about personnel, scheduled maintenance, and non-revenue service. The ODS specification is a product of the Operational Data Standard Working Group, a coalition of more than 40 transit agencies, transit technology vendors such as computer-aided dispatch/automatic vehicle location (CAD/AVL) companies, transit scheduling companies, and other contributors.

That's everything. @safrazier17 and I thank you! 🙌

Lilly fielded a request from Visa that will require the following changes to be made:

• Please re-link our permalinked PDF to this "preview" version of the Case instead of the full case study that we already have online—but please keep the original permalink (as I used it in the recent newsletter):
  Cal-ITP.CashApp.CaseStudy_Preview.pdf

• Please upload this new version of the "full" Cash App Case Study—but don't link it anywhere:
  Cal-ITP.CashApp.CaseStudy_Revised.pdf

Thanks @thekaveman and team!

• Upload PDF to link to the below new content:
  ContactlessPaymentsMSA_Final_20220308.docx

• To the "Enabling contactless payments" section, please add this new third paragraph—and please adjust the shape behind it to accommodate this new text:
  And to make it easier and more affordable for public transportation providers anywhere in the U.S. to acquire the building blocks of contactless payments, the California Department of General Services (DGS)—in collaboration with Cal-ITP—conducted a Request for Proposal that established Master Service Agreements (MSAs) allowing public transportation providers to purchase contactless payments hardware and software directly from vendors without further competitive bidding. Learn about and view the MSAs.

Thank you @thekaveman & team!

On Homepage, the link from 2020 California Executive Order N-79-20 (in second to last paragraph on page) needs to be repointed to:
https://www.gov.ca.gov/wp-content/uploads/2020/09/9.23.20-EO-N-79-20-Climate.pdf

Thanks!

Vyki to reach out to appropriate staff

TODOs:

• Audit microsite https://bit.ly/m/cal-itp
• Audit calitp.org
• Propose calitp.org roadmap
• Review microsite and roadmap during workshop session on 1/19

Goals:

• Align on key audiences for all calitp web properties (who are they, how do they learn about calitp, etc)
• Determine JTBD (jobs to be done) for each audience
• Assess how the current websites are doing re: JTBD
• Prioritize improvements, additions, redesigns etc

Heads-up @thekaveman @angela-tran @machikoyasuda:

Later today I will very be sharing a press release PDF to upload to calitp.org (initially without any site content changes).

This PDF will need to be uploaded to the site by tomorrow (Thurs 11/3) morning—timed to Gillian & Olivia's "big reveal" during their 9:30a PDT CALNET presentation of Cal-ITP's FirstNet cellular data contract.

Please let me know if there could be any issues with getting the PDF posted on this timeline. Thank you!!

Copying over from Slack, where we agreed that these are not issues that will delay site launch.

on One-Pager's page-end blobs, on Kristi's "Desktop" Figma:

• "headlines" (boldface type) between both blobs are aligned

• spacing between headline and text block is tighter on both blobs

• on red blob, no "p" break between "Drop us a line at to" and bulleted list

• on mustard yellow blob, there's more air/padding on left side of the blob than I'm seeing on build (text seems to be creeping to the right instead of being more "centered" in its blob (red blob's white text seems more centered)

• blobs seems to be the same-ish height on Figma (but yellow blob on build is taller, due to export); EE flagged Kristi to export at correct height / dimensions

Background

This repo has a compose.yml file that makes development and running locally fairly straightforward.

But we are trying to standardize on devcontainers with pre-commit and other tooling to streamline the dev experience and ease future onboarding.

Tasks

• mkdir .devcontainer
• mv compose.yml .devcontainer/compose.yml
• touch .devcontainer/devcontainer.json - see the Benefits devcontainer.json as an example
• Rework Docker to install both jekyll (ruby) and pre-commit (python)
• touch .pre-commit-config.yaml - see the Benefits .pre-commit-config.yaml as an example
• Configure a postAttach.sh script to setup pre-commit in the devcontainer
• Update README with new steps to get started

Standard practice for Cal-ITP repositories is that main is the default branch. Let's clean this one up.

When I hover over a link it turns blue, and with the highlight background it's difficult to see. Can we keep it white?

A URL linked within the ODS PR changed, and we need to update the PDF to reflect this new URL. 😬

• Please upload this revised ODS press release PDF (which contains the corrected URL):
  Cal-ITP.Open.Data.Standard.Improve.Transit.Agency.Operations.pdf

• Please make sure the asset link to this new PDF on website remains:
  https://www.calitp.org/assets/Cal-ITP.Open.Data.Standard.Improve.Transit.Agency.Operations.pdf

• Re-link the PDF from within this 1st sentence in the 5th paragraph of the "Getting to work" section:
  In June 2022, Cal-ITP [announced a new open data standard] to improve transit agency operations and promote an interoperable transit ecosystem by improving the flow of data and information sharing.

Thank you @thekaveman and team!

domain is now resolving, but https is not yet setup. I believe this is something that can be handled via netlify. cc/ @thekaveman

Confirm the possible interactions for the filtering at the top of the Press and Resources pages.

Hi again @thekaveman! The Payments team is extending its deadline for submissions for the Market Consultation: Benefits Administrator, so I am providing a new PDF + site wording to reflect that new deadline ...
and I am piggybacking off this content change to also amend how I refer to MSA PR on the site. (I've been overthinking again, of course. 😬)

Here are the 3 needs:

• Upload new PDF ... but please keep existing permalink of https://www.calitp.org/assets/Cal-ITP.Market.Consultation.Benefits.Administrator.pdf for this new version of the PDF (I gave it a unique name to keep track of it here ... not sure if that's helpful or causes more work, so please let me know for the future!):
  CalITP_MarketConsultationBenefitsAdministrator_031622.pdf

• In the "Getting to work" section, please adjust the 4th paragraph's last sentence to reflect a new due date (same time) for responses:
  Interested parties are asked to click the above link, read the instructions, and respond by no later than 3:00 p.m. (PDT) on April 1st, 2022.

• In the "Enabling contactless payments" section / tile, please adjust the 3rd paragraph's last sentence to say:
  Learn about the MSAs in our press release, and view the MSAs.

The Connect and Stay up to date background SVG's are appearing a bit smaller than they are in the mock and it's forcing the content to look squished.

Implemented:

Mock:

Can we add 50px bottom padding to section#deck so there is a little more breathing room for the header illustration?

Below is the Benefits press release PDF (with embedded link to Gif!) to upload to Cal-ITP or Docs—your choice!

I will later change website content and link to it. But for now, I just need a URL to link from comms that I'm prepping.

Thanks so much @thekaveman @angela-tran @machikoyasuda!

Confirm the following:

• Is it a requirement to publish press releases as pdfs or is an html page OK? (We will now have a dedicated page for all Press so we can provide links / storage is simpler)
• Do we intend to link to Press posted on other sites? eg, a link to the NYT talking about Cal ITP?
