National ITS Architecture Functional Requirements
associated with SWR Local Transit Centers:

Transit Center Information Services

1. The center shall provide transit service information to traveler information service providers including routes, schedules, schedule adherence, and fare information as well as transit service information during evacuation.
2. The center shall provide transit information to the media including details of deviations from schedule of regular transit services.
3. The center shall provide travelers using public transportation with traffic and advisory information upon request. Such information may include transit routes, schedules, transfer options, fares, real-time schedule adherence, current incidents, weather conditions, and special events.

Transit Center Paratransit Operations

1. The center shall process trip requests for demand responsive transit services, i.e. paratransit. Sources of the requests may include traveler information service providers.
2. The center shall exchange information with Maintenance and Construction Operations concerning work zones, roadway conditions, asset restrictions, work plans, etc., that affect paratransit operations
3. The center shall dispatch demand response (paratransit) transit vehicles.
4. The center shall collect the log of passenger boardings and alightings from the paratransit vehicles.

TIC Interactive Traveler Information

1. The center shall manage payment for services, such as tolls, transit fares, parking lot charges, map updates, and advanced payment for tolls, and provide transaction success or failure details.

Transit Center Fixed-Route Operations

1. The center shall be able to generate special routes and schedules to support an incident, disaster, evacuation, or other emergency.
2. The center shall generate transit routes and schedules based on such factors as parameters input by the system operator, road network conditions, incident information, operational data on current routes and schedules, and digitized map data.
3. The center shall collect transit operational data for use in the generation of routes and schedules.
4. The center shall exchange information with Maintenance and Construction Operations concerning work zones, roadway conditions, asset restrictions, work plans, etc.
5. The center shall disseminate up-to-date schedules and route information to other centers for fixed and flexible route services.
6. The center shall dispatch fixed route or flexible route transit vehicles.
