Introduction to Transit Outreach

Transit Outreach can be used to share information about planned service changes and solicit feedback from riders and the general public on their experience with public transit.

It provides 24/7 access to an organization, and the location-enabled reports help efficiently triage reports to the correct person or department responsible for their resolution. Through effective public engagement, transit agencies identify and understand the needs of the community as a whole and incorporate those needs into transportation plans and programs. Transit Outreach is typically implemented by transit agencies that want to become more transparent and responsive and ultimately provide better transit service.

The Transit Outreach solution delivers a set of capabilities that help you solicit feedback from riders, manage the transit agency's response, share information about upcoming service changes, and allow the public to provide feedback on proposed changes.
