Lassen Rural Bus introduces real-time arrival prediction to its services.

Press Release from ETA Transit Systems

Susanville, CA – December 8, 2015 — ETA Transit Systems of Boca Raton, Florida announced today that it has completed its upgrades to the Lassen Rural Bus (LRB) service. The project, in partnership with Radio Engineering Industries (REI) of Omaha, NE, equipped the Lassen fleet with a robust Intelligent Transit System designed to increase overall operational performance and improve rider experience.

ETA’s powerful flagship ITS product, SPOT ® powers Lassen’s new system and delivers CAD/AVL, digital sign integration with single sign-on capabilities, and automatic on-board announcements. These new capabilities provide both LRB and its riders with increased real-time vehicle arrival predictions and communication abilities.

“This new system will greatly enhance our abilities to improve the efficiency of our operations and provide our riders with some of the timeliest, up-to-the-moment trip planning tools on the market,” said Kelly Mumper, Transportation Planner for Lassen County Transportation Commission. “ We’ve been impressed with ETA’s focus on customer service. From their custom audio recordings for our on-board announcements to their extensive worry-free warranty, they’ve made the entire process simple from start to finish.”

Nicole Castonguay, CEO at ETA Transit says, “The investment of an ITS is a huge investment for many of our customers; it’s perhaps the biggest expense they will ever make. Peace of mind is every bit as important as the technology itself, and we strive to earn that trust at every stage of the process—from procurement to training to deployment.”
