Track: Government
Authors: Ben Davidson

For the everyday public transit user having your bus stop readily accessible, being on-time, and feeling safe aboard the bus are some of the most important factors in choosing to take transit. To ensure that Valley Metro services meet these expectations, two apps were developed for use in the field utilizing the capabilities Survey123 and further enhanced using AppStudio. These apps provide the planners and operators a clearer picture of how the transit system is performing.
