Muncie Indiana Transit System (MITS) implemented TripSpark's NovusDR paratransit software and Mobile Data Terminals to replace obsolete on-board computers and paper-based scheduling. The solution synchronized dispatch and driver data in real time, reduced radio congestion, and enabled web-based dispatch operations. Results included shorter dispatch times, fewer scheduling errors, higher driver satisfaction, and an On Time Guarantee for riders.

Key takeaways

Paper manifests and radio dispatch created scheduling delays and driver dissatisfaction

TripSpark MDTs and NovusDR software replaced legacy hardware and eliminated paper processes

Real-time data sync between dispatch and vehicles reduced errors and radio congestion

Web-enabled dispatch allowed remote operations and reduced overall work hours

Improved reliability supported an On Time Guarantee and higher passenger throughput
