Background and Discussion:
Harris County Transit (HCT) entered a contract agreement with Passio Technologies in October 2022 for the provision of automated vehicle locator (AVL), automated vehicle annunciator (AVA), automatic passenger counters (APCs), Wi-Fi, and bus dispatching services for HCT’s various transportation programs. HCT is interested in replacing its AVL bus tracking and AVA systems with an upgraded system for twenty (20) vehicles, which includes APCs for the fixed-route program and Wi-Fi and a bus dispatching application for the ADA Paratransit service, On-Demand Micro-Transit Service, and Non-Emergency Medical Service. The fixed route bus service provider for HCT has purchased new buses and wishes to amend the Passio Technologies contract to have equipment moved from the older buses in the contractor fleet to the new buses acquired by the contractor.
Expected Impact:
Moving the equipment to the newer buses will allow for better data collection and tracking of the vehicles for Federal and County reporting and customer service. The electronic data transmitted by the Passio System eliminates time consuming manual data collection.
Alternative Options:
Without the equipment being installed on to the new buses HCT staff will have to revert to time consuming and costly manual collection of data.
Alignment with Goal(s):

_ Economic Opportunity
_ Housing
_ Public Health
