Darren’s Transit Map of Louisville

Short URL: http://bit.ly/tarc-map

This transit map of Louisville contains route data from TARC, street map data from OpenStreetMap, and my own markup. It’s a hybrid of older transit map styles. I’ve created it for a number of reasons:

to learn Inkscape,
to have a map I can print out and more easily annotate,
and as a hobby.

Enjoy this map, and happy TARCin’!

THIS MAP IS PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTY.
IT IS NOT THE OFFICIAL TARC SYSTEM MAP.
You get that from TARC’s web site.

Will soon reflect the following route changes that took place after 2016-06-05:

Route 1 — rerouted to avoid 4th Street and Convention Center construction
Route 20 Riverport Circulator — new route!
Route 82 — Eastbound trips move from Market Street to Spring Street in New Albany
~~Route 90~~ — Discontinued due to low ridership
Route 31 — reroute away from side streets in Middletown

You might not have the best experience viewing this map in iBooks or Safari. Here are a couple of third-party PDF viewer apps which are better for viewing large PDF maps:

Caveats

This map does not show shopper shuttles, downtown circulators, “hop” routes, or UPS shuttles.
There is no detailed Downtown map.

Official information, including routes and other details not shown on this map, is available from TARC’s web site or by calling 502-585-1234. I would recommend not mentioning this map to them, not because this is a secret project, but because they need not be concerned about it while doing their job. :-)

Other Unofficial Transit Maps of Louisville!

Someone at K Composite Media did this subway-style map. I’m so used to traditional street maps of Louisville so this one's actually a little mind-bending.
This map showing one man's idea of what Louisville’s transit system could be in the future exists, in the form of another subway-style map.

Here is a copy of TARC’s official system map. I’ve split it up into single-page PDF files because the Avenza PDF Maps and Transit Maps apps only extract from page 1. Page 2 is the one you want for the main map. Page 1 is the downtown map.

Enjoy.
