Westmoreland Transit is Changing!
With help from PennDOT’s Fixed Route Intelligent Transportation System (FRITS) project, the features of Westmoreland Transit’s fixed-route buses are being updated. The FRITS project will bring technology that will allow Westmoreland Transit to deploy state of the art technology to provide better service and understand its customer base by improving communication between the driver and dispatch and collecting key operational data to make better service decisions. What changes are coming for our customers? Riders will have the ability to track the bus they are riding through a mobile app; this will show where the bus is in real time. Riders will also be able to plan trips more efficiently through Westmoreland Transit’s website and plan transfers to other bus systems with ease.
The FRITS project at Westmoreland Transit is still in its early stages. Check for updates on the FRITS project through Westmoreland County Transit Authority’s website at www.westmorelandtransit.com or their Facebook page.
