Meet SPOT™
An indispensable platform to meet the challenges of modern transit operations
What factors define the criteria for a modern intelligent transit system.
- Does it provide cloud-hosted transit fleet management?

- Does it utilize commercially available, off-the-shelf hardware?
- Does it integrate well with other onboard hardware?
- Does it include a robust set of transit planning software?
- Does it deploy in weeks, rather than months or years?
- Does it serve as a foundation for future growth and expansion?
- Does it cost less than traditional on-premises ITS systems?
