| Project Description: | This project is the FY 1999 ITS Integration Program earmark for Cleveland, OH. Funding was obligated in January 2001. The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) is implementing a passenger counter system. The system which integrates a communications system with a computer network will enable real-time monitoring of ridership trends from a central location as well as gathering information, on a regular basis, to support more efficient use of resources without incurring added labor costs. The system will enable data gathering on stop-by-stop level of detail. The following capabilities will result from this system integration effort include, but are not limited to: - The ability to provide real-time ridership monitoring on at least 20% of GCRTA service at all times. - Passenger overloads in schedule service and for special events can be monitored, and managed with rapid response strategies. - Special event management will be streamlined through "instant replay" of events as they occur. - Improved scheduling of resources, and elimination of the maintenance of unnecessary service levels. |
