Route Design & Planning
-
Design Routes Around Real Demand
Fixed routes are planned using ridership patterns, stop-level demand, and operating constraints. This ensures routes, schedules, and capacity are aligned with how riders actually move, not just how routes look on paper.
-
Define Stops, Schedules, and Service Windows
CharterUP works with you to define stop locations, headways, and operating hours that support consistent, predictable service. Fixed routes are structured to be easy for riders to understand and efficient to operate.
-
Publish Routes Through GTFS and Rider Tools
Once routes are defined, they can be represented through GTFS and surfaced directly in the Passenger App. Riders see clear routes, stops, and schedules, while your organization benefits from standardized, portable route data.
Reliable Daily Operations
-
Intelligent Dispatch for Fixed Routes
CharterUP manages dispatch across fixed-route service to ensure the right vehicles and drivers are assigned to each route. Dispatch decisions are informed by route requirements, vehicle types, and daily operating conditions.
-
Consistent Execution With Real-Time Tracking
Vehicles are continuously tracked throughout service hours, providing real-time visibility into adherence, delays, and route progress. This allows CharterUP to monitor performance and quickly address issues as they arise.
-
Clear Rider Communication Through the Passenger App
The integrated Passenger App gives riders real-time visibility into routes, stops, and vehicle locations. This reduces confusion, improves rider confidence, and lowers operational noise for your team.
Continuous Optimization & Insights
-
Monitor Performance at the Route and Stop Level
Fixed-route performance is tracked over time, including ridership, on-time performance, and stop utilization. These insights highlight where routes are working well and where adjustments may be needed.
-
Optimize Service Using Data and Real-Time Signals
CharterUP uses both historical data and live conditions to refine fixed routes over time. This may include adjusting schedules, redistributing capacity, or updating stop patterns to better match demand.
-
Keep Routes Aligned With Changing Needs
As demand shifts, GTFS data, dispatch strategies, and rider-facing information can be updated to reflect changes. Fixed routes stay accurate, discoverable, and effective without requiring manual rework from your team.
