A simple start, cataloging the degree of openness of their transit data .. from not available at all, to in google transit, to data in the commons. The community of developer/activists can use this to approach transit agencies and lobby for more open release of schedules.

http://opentransitdata.org/wiki/index.php?title=Public_Transit_Openness_Index

Wiki was the easiest way to start. A simple web app would probably capture this more effectively! Building on GTFS Data Exchange makes sense, though I haven't reached out to the developers there yet.

Comments and help welcome!
