PT03-NCTD Flex Dynamic Transit Operations
Status: Existing
Description
The Dynamic Transit Operations service package allows NCTD travelers to request trips and obtain itineraries using a personal device such as a smartphone, tablet, or personal computer. The trips and itineraries cover multiple transportation services (public transportation modes, private transportation services, shared–ride, walking and biking). This service package builds on existing technology systems such as computer–aided dispatch/ automated vehicle location (CAD/AVL) systems and automated scheduling software, providing a coordination function within and between transit providers that would dynamically schedule and dispatch or modify the route of an in–service vehicle by matching compatible trips together. TI06 covers other shared use transportation options.
This service package supports the 5 Big Moves in the area of Transit Leap, encouraging mode shift to transit.
