ISSUE/BACKGROUND:
body
There are often disruptions that may occur in a transit system due to weather events or road construction. Since 2019 RTA has had to manage service disruptions due to the collapse of the Hard Rock Hotel, Covid-19, and numerous Hurricane/Tropical Storm events
end
DISCUSSION:
In normal times on any given Sunday there is a Second line that may disrupt the schedule or the route. When you combine this with unprecedented road construction, natural and health disasters, staff needs technology that will allow for rapid management of disruptions. This technology allows everyone from dispatchers, planners, and managers to drivers and riders to have the same service information. It provides real-time passenger updates and improves communications with operators. The software has four key elements: creating Bus Bridge/Shuttle Service, Service/Day Change, Detours and Service Restoration.
FINANCIAL IMPACT:
The project will be funded from the following funding sources: 1.1117.
NEXT STEPS:
Upon RTA Board approval, a purchase order will be issued to Clever Devices.
