Investing in Transportation Based on Objective Data

Investing in transportation based on accurate, objective data can help reduce wasteful spending by ensuring investments are allocated to areas where they are needed most.

Challenge

Investments into public transportation are generally significant in scale, scope and duration. Considering the long-term nature of planning and the level of spending on projects, Public Transportation Operators (PTOs) are constantly looking for data to support decisions with a direct impact on society.

Without clear and accurate data, PTOs risk:

Ordering public transit vehicles unrepresentative of user demand
Planning infrastructure developments unresponsive to passenger trends
Spending excessively on projects or products disconnected from actual use
Defending investment decisions before different stakeholders
