As the manager, your choices may appear to be limited \u2014 reduce staff and\/or cut back services. PCTrans software is designed to alleviate this issue by increasing your agency\u2019s efficiency in all aspects of the scheduling, dispatch and reporting process. You can meet the increased demands without reducing services, a choice worth making!<br \/>\nEfficiency improvements are measured in three ways when calculating a payback time period (ROI) for the PCTrans solution:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Carrying the same number of passengers with fewer vehicle hours<\/li>\n<li>Carrying more passengers with the same vehicle hours and no additional Dispatcher hours<\/li>\n<li>Producing accurate, timely reports faster, freeing up your staff\u2019s time for other activities that will contribute to the bottom line<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><b>\u00a0<\/b><br \/>\n<b>Carrying the same number of passengers with fewer vehicle hours<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Decreasing vehicle hours, while still servicing all your passengers, cuts bottom line costs immediately for fuel, driver payroll, and vehicle maintenance. With even a modest 3% gain in efficiency, an agency with 100,000 trips per year, running 20,000 vehicle hours at a cost of $30 per vehicle hour would save $18,000. (Note: 3% of 20,000 hours is a 600 hour reduction or $18,000). After that, the savings in fuel and personnel continue year after year.\u00a0 Many sites have had increases of 10% or more.<\/p>\n<p><b>Carrying more passengers with the same vehicle hours and no additional Dispatcher hours<\/b><\/p>\n<p>If your ridership is increasing, you may be faced with two difficult problems.\u00a0 You would like to meet the increased demand, but you may not be able to afford to put another bus on the street and\/or you may not be able to handle any more trips without hiring another Dispatcher.\u00a0 The PCTrans Scheduling and Dispatch software will solve both of these problems.\u00a0 It will allow you to carry more passengers with the same vehicle hours.\u00a0 PCTrans will also make your staff more efficient, so you can handle significantly more passengers with the same Dispatch team.\u00a0 Your service will be faster and more accurate, which results in improved customer service.<\/p>\n<p>The demands on transit agencies are not likely to diminish anytime soon. Increases in the price of fuel and demographic factors, such as aging baby boomers and people living longer, mean that demands will likely increase everywhere over the next 10 years.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Producing accurate, timely reports faster, freeing up staff to do other activities that will contribute to your bottom line<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>PCTrans has over 150 standard reports which can be produced in minutes instead of hours or days.\u00a0 PCTrans customers use the time saved for a variety of activities that help their bottom line.\u00a0 At one site, an administrative person was re-deployed as a driver thus carrying significantly more passengers, generating extra revenue with no extra staff time. Others have used the extra time to make schedules more efficient, carrying the same passengers with fewer vehicle hours.<\/p>\n<p><b>Ready to learn how PC Trans can help your agency?<\/b><\/p>\n<p>PC Trans recognizes that each agency has its own unique challenges.
