The enhanced platform will integrate real-time scheduling, passenger and driver applications, as well as intelligent features integrated with the fleet, to help organizations provide better services with fewer resources.
Charlotte, North Carolina, September 29th / PRNewswire / -- Transit Technologies Today, we announce the launch of a redesigned Ecolane platform, aimed at both public and private transportation organizations.
Ecolane is built on over 20 years of transportation operation experience, integrating scheduling, dispatching, communication between passengers and drivers, fleet data, and operational insights into a connected operational experience. At its core is continuous re-optimization: when cancellations, delays, new trip requests, personnel changes, and other circumstances affect service, the platform recalculates and real-time redistributes the affected trips. This enables organizations to have a clearer understanding of operational conditions and helps teams respond more quickly while maintaining service continuity.
Transit Technologies CEO Gerry Leonard stated: "It is very challenging for transportation agencies to continue providing excellent service based on yesterday's plans every day, amidst new challenges such as drivers not showing up, last-minute absences, and traffic congestion. Ecolane has changed this. Our platform continuously optimizes services in response to real-time changes, immediately recalculates and reallocated affected trips, while still allowing dispatchers to maintain control. We have found that Ecolane after customers switch from other software providers, the productivity per hour in terms of rides increased by more than 30%. This has a substantial impact on operational budgets."*
This interconnected experience extends throughout the entire operational process:
- Passenger app: Provides real-time estimated arrival times, trip reservations, and real-time trip updates to help passengers get answers without having to call the dispatch center.
- Driver app: Directly pushes route updates, itinerary changes, and vehicle assignments to drivers.
- Ecolane Insights: Provides operational visualization and predictive insights to help organizations identify emerging issues and understand performance.
- Scheduling integrated with the fleet: Real-time fleet information helps to provide more accurate estimated arrival times, more reasonable vehicle allocation, and reduce service interruptions.
- Extended features: Updated payment and real-time monitoring capabilities, as well as deeper integration with the Transit Technologies product portfolio.
The achievements made by institutions using this platform also reflect the impact of Ecolane. The administrator of Harford Transit LINK, Gary Blazinsky, stated: “Even on the first day, our number of passengers per hour almost doubled.” After adopting Ecolane, Harford Transit LINK saw an increase in passenger trips per hour from 1.2 to 2.7, while overtime hours were reduced by 90%, saving $91,000 in fuel costs annually.
As part of TransitTechOS ™
The redesigned Ecolane platform is the first major product release for Transit Technologies since the launch of TransitTechOS ™ in August 2026. TransitTechOS ™ is the only product in the industry that is built on the most extensive operational experience, offering a AI priority transportation operation suite. Within this suite, Ecolane serves as the engine for on-demand response and auxiliary transportation in Connected Agency. With the gradual introduction of TransitTechOS features, organizations that currently use Ecolane for scheduling and dispatching can now gain shared visibility in terms of fleets, employees, and safety, without having to replace their existing systems.
For existing Ecolane customers, this new phase is built upon the existing technology and investment, while also creating new opportunities to connect data, work processes, and operations. The redesigned Ecolane platform will be demonstrated at booth number 656 during the APTA 2026 TRANSform Conference & EXPO event to be held in Chicago from October 4th to 7th.
