Comments

Access to the data is fairly self explanatory and it is available from https://www.cota.com/data.

The real-time location information is one thing I'm a bit unsure of, just not familiar with the format it is in. The site does offer a download of it, but I don't know how to parse it so I can't validate that the data is there.

The data appears to be timely; the most recent GIS data dump is from January 2016 (https://www.cota.com/COTA/media/COTAContent/Jan2016_COTA_GIS.zip).
