ETA Transit pulls in to the Grand Valley

Press Release from ETA Transit Systems

Boca Raton, FL – September, 2016 — ETA Transit Systems of Boca Raton, Florida, is excited to announce the successful implementation of its SPOT® Intelligent Transit System (ITS) on the 28-vehicle Grand Valley Transit (GVT) authority in Mesa County, Colorado. GVT services numerous cities on the western slope of Colorado, including the communities of Palisade, Clifton, Orchard Mesa, Fruita, and Grand Junction.

This new ITS provides Grand Valley Transit with ETA’s trailblazing real-time arrival predictions, fare collection system integration, automatic on-board announcements, and the tools to accurately and efficiently track and chart system improvements over time. SPOT reduces inbound calls regarding schedules and routes through integration with public-facing websites, smartphone apps, and rider alerts. Its secure, open-architecture platform ensures consistent up-time, integration with existing systems, and provides transit agencies the data collection and reporting tools required to grow operations at a pace that makes sense for the individual firm.

“The flexibility of our SPOT solution is the key component in adapting to the changing demands and stretched budgets of the transit industry,” states ETA CEO Nicole Castonguay.

Key to the implementation of any advanced system is the quality of training afforded to the agency and its staff. ETA’s training process earned high praise from the GVT staff. “The materials we received were thorough, and expertly presented with enough detail and background information to allow our staff to easily pick up the workings of new system,” says GVT Title First Lastname. “It’s probably the best training session I’ve ever participated in.”

“Our ability to inexpensively leverage existing technology to help clients like GVT grow their capabilities and get their staff up to speed on the new system is a valuable differentiator between ETA and our competition,” adds Castonguay. “It’s a simple way to upgrade legacy systems to the latest technology, improve communication with riders, simply staff responsibilities, collect operational data, and let’s not forget, to qualify for tax breaks by doing business with a woman-owned business.”
