Boca Raton, FL – April 2017 — Employees at Broward County’s Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport have another reason to be happy about heading out on their latest travels—an improved shuttle experience. ETA Transit announces the successful implementation of its SPOT® intelligent transit system (ITS) on the airport’s employee shuttle service. The new system, includes new additions of mobile video surveillance, onboard display signage, automatic passenger counting, and next stop announcements.
“ETA continues to position themselves as a go-to collaborator at our many transit properties,” notes Mike Ake, SVP Operations at Keolis Transit America, the operator of the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport employee shuttles. “They’re an incredibly responsive vendor to our many questions and are consistently open to exploring new solutions for specific transit situations. Our operations at the South Florida Regional Transportation Authority (SFRTA) and now the Fort Lauderdale-Hollywood International Airport have greatly benefitted from ETA’s insights.”
“Collaboration with our transit partners, is a cornerstone of our business philosophy,” adds ETA Transit CEO Nicole Castonguay. “The competition in the transit market is fierce, and there’s no room for proprietary solutions.
