| Project Description: | This project was the FY 1999 ITS Integration Program earmark for Cleveland, OH. Funding was obligated in January 2001. The Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority (GCRTA) planned to implement a passenger counter system. The system which integrates a communications system with a computer network would have enabled 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 was intended to enable data gathering on stop-by-stop level of detail. The following capabilities were anticipated from this system integration effort: - 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. This project was not approved for State matching funds, and has been terminated with no further activity planned as of December 2005. |
