City of Asheville Transit System Route Map
Before this map brochure that I created for the City of Asheville, the
transit system was using a black and white booklet of plain GIS-generated
maps and text describing the individual routes, but there was nothing
to show where the routes intersected, and took a genius to figure out
how to navigate from one end of the city to the other. Asheville Transit
wanted me to color-code the routes, so that it would be understandable
at a glance where they met up, correlate to the schedules, as well as
be more asthetically pleasing.
James Garner, my contact on the project, provided me with GIS generated
map files, which I took into Illustrator and traced to get the routes
and the underlying streets. We decided on the topographical hillshading
to make this transit map distinct from any other city's transit map, because
Asheville is so special.
