Remix February 2024: Folders, and lots of scheduling updates!

GTFS-Based Runtimes
Populating your timetable with accurate runtimes in Remix is more straightforward, transparent, and accurate than ever.
For any new segments you draw in Remix, we will identify all routes that share that corridor in your latest GTFS at the same hour of the day and automatically populate the timetable with that runtime. Hover over any cell in your timetable to see which runtimes were pulled directly from your GTFS.

Scheduling
Runcutting 2.0
We’ve made a host of major improvements to Runcutting in Remix Scheduling that will make it easier than ever to create compliant, efficient runcuts. You can now:
- See and manually edit vehicle blocks
- Bulk update labor rules from the left side bar without having to re-cut runs
- Easily visualize relief points along runs
- Split blocks at relief points, and see the time up and downstream in the block
- Get complete origin and destination information about reliefs easily via the Context Menu
- See the statistical impacts of moving pieces of runs between different driver shifts
Scheduling
Dynamic Run Types
Run contracts (driver shifts) can now be specified in more than one format at a time in Runcutting. This also allows you to specify the target time of day for runs to occur.
This makes it easier for you to create runs that meet your union rules and are easily grouped together for rostering.
Scheduling
Filtering
Blocks and Runs can now be filtered by the lines they contain or garages they use, helping you focus on what matters. This is especially helpful for agencies with many vehicles and drivers. You can:
Filter by a line to show any block or run containing a trip from that line, and hide all other blocks and runs. This will also filter the unblocked trips and un-cut runs in the scratchpad, and filters the day-type stats down to only the blocks or runs visible in the view.

New ACS and LEHD Data
New data is now available for US-based agencies.
Look for updates to Layers, Stats, Breakdown Tables, Title VI and On-Demand Planning zone stats. We have refreshed our 5-year American Community Survey (ACS) data from 2021-17 to 2022-18, and updated the Longitudinal Employer-Household Dynamics (LEHD) jobs data from 2010-2019 to 2012-2021.
