It gives you confidence when you have a tool that provides a good prediction of what should happen, cost-wise.

To draw a route in a more conventional GIS environment takes maybe about an hour. In Remix, you can draw a route in less than a minute.

There are a lot of ways to skin a cat. We would draw it out, where we thought the proposed termini were, along with the proposed route, and that quickly gives us an estimate of not only the service hours and miles for each of those scenarios, roughly how many people and jobs and other demographic factors are nearby.

Everything from long-range, 20-year long-range planning all the way down to operator scheduling, runcutting, bidding, bid administration, and every step in between. We do long-range planning, we do short-range planning, we do annual budget developments, we do both short-range and long-range service planning and changes, route expansions and improvements, project implementation. We also have a large role in technology implementation and projects, so right now we’re in the middle of the implementation of our automated vehicle location system. We do our routine service and schedule changes, which includes assembling and administering the bidding process. This part of the year, we’re starting on our annual budgeting process for trading out budgets for the next year, our operating budget and our capital budget, which we do every year for a 10-year window. Also, we do a lot of grant work.

There is nothing else like Remix in the transit marketplace. It places many planning tools into one resourceful package, providing a useful and intuitive solution for both expert planners and newbies.

We learned so many things we didn’t know about our community and we have a robust new system to implement as a result.

Remix makes the manual process of planning transit automatic. Remix helps me visualize options and test out different solutions on the fly.

We never had drivers do multiple routes with the same bus before. This would have been difficult to do by hand since we never had such complex routes, on top of adding peak service hours. And now we’re saving a whole lot of money because of it.

When you try to communicate to audiences goals, objectives, and strategies, it’s really difficult to show them, ‘what is improved access? What does that look like? We can use Remix to paint that picture visually. We can communicate to our elected officials and our planners why these are important objectives and strategies.

I can change transit variables with transparency in Remix, and I see the trust growing in the public’s eyes.

Remix just makes my job easier. It creates all kinds of efficiencies throughout the operations department. It creates all kinds of efficiencies with me. And we all know that in operations, efficiency is the name of the game.

There is nothing else like Remix in the marketplace. It’s so many tools in one resourceful package, useful and intuitive for experts and newbies alike.

The improvements in the bus routes have increased up to 3,000 daily riders for Tren Urbano in the first months after the change was implemented.

We’re a small rural transit agency, but we want to be on the front line. To be able to be nimble and proactive and make changes is invaluable for us.
