Through funding made available by ECICOG, the six county transit providers have recently implemented new scheduling and dispatching software to improve their efficiency and operations. The new software replaces decades old software, and will enable the transit providers to free-up staff time, improve bus routes, and make drivers jobs easier by implementing tablets on each bus. In addition, riders will now be able to make electronic payment and receive advanced notice on exact bus arrival times. The six county transit providers totaled over 295,000 miles in 2023, with over 2.9 million miles on a fleet of 72 buses.
The majority of rides provided are for elderly and disabled persons, including sheltered workshops, dialysis appointments, group homes, as well as preschool and daycare.
