I really appreciate Cal-ITP filling this role of keeping these things moving. It’s a type of support I’m constantly requesting in all sorts of different spaces (like implementation of regional goals, etc.). It's really helpful, particularly on these types of projects that directly improve passenger experience. At the end of the day passenger experience matters the most.

Whether enabling passengers to see the live location of a bus or train on their phone or tap to pay their fare with contactless payment, transit is leveraging cellular data and connectivity to modernize and improve the rider experience.

A mudslide blocked the direct route from Santa Paula to Ojai in Ventura County, turning a 30-minute commute into over 2 hours. It lasted for months. We were able to draw up an emergency shuttle route in Remix in only a few days. Our executive director said, ‘This is amazing!’ and was very impressed with how quickly we were able to create the route and get it up and running.

The scoping process was way easier and more accessible for our small team. We’re able to prioritize GTFS-RT first and foremost before getting contactless payments.
