Transit ITS (APTS)                

State of the Art Update 2005 Survey

Are you on the cutting-edge of Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS) technology? Is some aspect of your system smarter, faster, cheaper, more capable or easier to use than anyone else's? Is it more reliable? More maintainable? Is there something you've done institutionally that allows you to reap greater benefits from the system than most others might?

Please take a few minutes to help your peers throughout the transit industry by identifying "state of the art" APTS applications for inclusion in the next edition of FTA's Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS) State of the Art report.
