Visualize transit-friendly parking lots by rate and capacity

MBTA Parking Map

What does this do?

This is a webapp that shows MBTA parking lot information on a single map, with capacity and rate information.

You can:

• View map on the screen with different orientations, or print (Mapbox restriction applies)
• View clustered data with min/max rate or capacity
• Filter by transit lines

Apple iPhone SE Safari problem

Apple iPhone SE (2022)

1. Blank map
2. No loading screen at all
