• Collect data for schedule generation and adjustment on-board a transit vehicle.
• Request signal priority through short range communication from a transit vehicle directly to traffic control equipment on the roadway (intersections, ramps, interchanges, etc.)
• Furnish users with real-time transit schedule information.
• Operate and maintain transit fleet with automated mileage and fuel reporting and auditing.
• Operate and maintain transit fleet with automatic vehicle location (AVL).
• Manage fare collection from the transit center - includes setting and distributing fare information, central processing of fares for transit as well as other ITS services, links to financial institutions and enforcement agencies.
• Provide paratransit and flexible-route dispatch information, including multi-stop runs, to the transit vehicle operator using on-board systems.
• Monitor transit vehicle locations via interactions with on-board systems.
• Collect fares on-board from a travelers card.
• Collect passenger data using on-board systems and send it to the transit center.
• Manage fixed route transit operations including planning, scheduling, and dispatching associated with fixed and flexible route transit services, updating customer service operator systems, and providing current vehicle schedule adherence and optimum scenarios for schedule adjustment.
• Send collected fare data from the transit vehicle to the transit center.
• Allow communication between the vehicle, operator, and center.
• Manage demand response transit services, including paratransit including planning and scheduling of these services, providing automated vehicle dispatch and automatic updates to customer service operator systems.
• Monitor transit service schedule performance.
• Maintain interface with digital map providers.

• Collect transit vehicle loading data and make it available to the transit center.
• Receive and process transit vehicle loading data using two-way communications from equipped transit vehicles.
• Assign transit operators to runs in a fair manner while minimizing labor and overtime services, considering operator preferences, qualifications, accumulated work hours, and other information about each operator.

• Coordinate schedules with other agencies and modes, including transit transfer cluster and transfer point information.
• Manage fixed route transit operations including planning, scheduling, and dispatching associated with fixed and flexible route transit services, updating customer service operator systems, and providing current vehicle schedule adherence and optimum scenarios for schedule adjustment.
