GER EXPERIENCE:
CAPMETRO HIRED
temporary staff for
daily field cleaning
at different high-use
points in the system.
CapMetro
with a focus on cleanliness, informing the public about these initiatives and identifying new metrics
that demonstrate the value transit
adds to the community.
Cleanliness and Safety
Go Hand-in-Hand
Cleanliness has always been a part
of safety, but now it has taken a
front seat, pushing agencies to
implement more robust cleaning
measures to enhance the customer experience.
"Cleanliness skyrocketed as
a top measure of safety," said
Laura Koprowski, chief communication and customer
experience officer, Toledo
Area Regional Transit Authority (TARTA).
John Sisson, CEO,
Delaware Transit Corporation (DTC), operating as DART
First State Transit Services, added,
"We started ramping up our cleaning
operations,
along
with doing a vital oxide spray once every
couple of weeks on the buses. Most recently, we've stationed a contractor out
at our major transit hubs, and midday
they're coming on the buses and wiping down high-touch areas."
Agencies are also implementing
customer experience initiatives such as
CapMetro replacing its fabric seating
material on all its buses and the Regional Transportation Commission
(RTC) of Southern Nevada upgrading
its CAD/AVL system to post live passenger counts in real time.
"While they're waiting for a bus,
[passengers] will have real-time information as to when the bus will reach
maximum capacity, so they can determine whether they want to get on
the bus or wait for the next one," said
MJ Maynard, transportation commissioner, RTC.
Some initiatives, specifically ones
focused on technology improvements
such as real-time information and
contactless fare payments, are being
accelerated. For instance, CapMetro
already has a contactless payment option and was in the process of installing all-door boarding validators prior
to the pandemic. Now, that effort has
been accelerated and is expected to be
completed by mid-fall.
