| Project Title: |
COMPUTER INTEGRATED TRANSIT MAINTENANCE AND ENVIRONMENT (CITME) |
|
| Project Status: | In Progress | |
| Project Type: |
Research & Development |
|
| Project Description: | The project, funded in previous years, will provide transit properties with the tools to assist in modernizing their maintenance operations. This $1 million earmark will be used to implement the system designed in Phase I in the bus operations area. The functional specifications for this system have been developed by a research team led by South Carolina Research Associates (SCRA) for installation at the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority's bus and rail maintenance facilities. SCRA expects that CITME will reduce the costs of transit maintenance by 15-25 percent. Current funding will be used to procure software/hardware necessary to install ITS systems in Cleveland's bus operations division. Funding for the third phase, if available, will be used to procure and/or design hardware/software for rate and facilities operations. | |
