If you want to expand this to all of CA, it seems like it would be a lot of work to get all the transit data for the entire state.

Are you considering any shortcuts for getting that data? For example, maybe asking the folks who made http://transitrichhousing.org if you could you their data?

Use Transitland!

Here are all the transit operators with known and public GTFS feeds in California.

Here's how to get a list of them in JSON:

http://api.transit.land/api/v1/operators?state=US-CA
http://api.transit.land/api/v1/operators.geojson?state=US-CA

How to get a map of all stops (bounding box: southwest longitude, southwest latitude, northeast longitude, northeast latitude):

http://transit.land/api/v1/stops.geojson?bbox=-124.48,32.53,-114.13,42.01
