“How Remix really saves me time is instead of drawing something on, you know, taking a screenshot of Google and doing a hand-drawn line image, or doing something like that and submitting it to our graphics team and waiting on them to make a map, then realizing there’s a mistake and sending it back, I can do all this now and come up with unlimited scenarios within an hour.”
"I think it’s pretty safe to say what we’ve done, because of having Remix, we would not have been able to do without it. The difference is between doing it and not doing it, in a sense. Without Remix, it would’ve been impossible."
"What's great is that more than just planners use Remix at our agency. Anyone here can use Remix to work on concepts, which allows us to get as creative as we want."
“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.”
“It’s easy because in Remix, instead of doing the whole route, you can just say, OK, what does it look like if we just go from here to Barstow. That’s what I really like about it. I don’t have to actually drive it, or time it. I don’t want to drive all the way, three hours roundtrip, from Needles!”
“When it came time to finalize the plan, getting buy-in was easier because they actually understood it.”
"Before having Explore, not everyone in our organization could use the GIS tools that we had to make informed decisions based on facts. That meant that our analysts had to be at meetings to pull up the data. Now with Explore, anyone at Västtrafik can easily access the data and we can share information fluidly."
"With Remix, we don’t risk making the wrong decisions based on gut feeling. We can now make more real-time, data-driven decisions that positively impact our communities."
"We’ve had a big improvement since Remix entered our lives. Previously, in order to show a map or do an analysis with the same quality or data points as in Remix, we had to get information from multiple parts of the organization. Now I can check directly in Remix. The process has streamlined from up to a month down to less than an hour."
"Remix brings clarity for everyone. It’s valuable to have everyone looking at the same platform, the same visuals, and the same facts-- all of which make the conversation more productive for municipalities."
"Explore gives us a quick glimpse of relevant data. It's easy to look at Explore and get the information needed. And that saves us time. It took us two to three days of making maps for our Title VI report. With Explore, it's an hour of clicking around and exporting maps and putting them into our report."
“Remix allows us to pull in data in one spot and we can put it all together at one time, while we’re designing.”
"I have definitely gotten good insights from the Transpo Talk community and good leads on presentation resources. It's nice to feel connected to others who are dealing with the exact same issues. We may not have a lot of answers yet, but it really helps knowing I am not alone in this quickly paced work!"
“When planning, we're always trying to figure out commuter patterns. Remix provides that information in a very simple and visual way."
“Remix is the first tool where we can really play with our ideas and see the outcomes instantly. We just move a lot faster. We have better ideas because we can think more or less continuously.”
