Historically, surface street public transportation like city buses hasn't garnered the same reputation for being as reliable, frequent, or as fast as subterranean metro transit options. The challenges include competition with vehicle traffic, stop signs and traffic signals, and lack of dedicated public transit lanes that allow buses and other surface street transit options to navigate efficiently.

However, all of that can change with the right technology, thanks to next-generation transit signal priority. Join us for our webinar to learn about the power of new technology, including artificial intelligence (AI), to deliver next-generation signal priority for surface street transit and how municipalities can revolutionize their public transit options and increase ridership. Our webinar will be hosted by Digi International and TIG-Converge Technology Solutions and presented with transit industry experts TriMet and STV, Inc.

This informative, one-hour presentation will address the following:

• The challenges faced by municipalities to increase ridership and transit reliability
• How artificial intelligence, cloud services and other cellular technologies enable municipal transit signal priority
• How the Tri-County Metropolitan Transportation District of Oregon (TriMet) is implementing transit signal priority, and the results
• And more!
