Public Transit

Delivering continuity with GIS

Reliable spatial data is essential for safe, efficient, and responsive transit. From planning and scheduling to operations and maintenance, agencies rely on integrated GIS insights to understand and improve service across their network.

Quartic helps transit agencies turn those insights into smarter management of routes, assets, and operations—delivering better service and an improved rider experience.

Solving GIS Challenges for Public Transit

Transit agencies face complex challenges managing routes, assets, schedules, and operational data. Quartic helps agencies modernize GIS systems, integrate datasets, and automate and streamline workflows so teams can make informed, coordinated decisions across departments.

Below are the most common GIS challenges we see with public transit operations, and how partnering with Quartic helps utilities reduce risk, improve efficiency, and make better decisions.

Problem: Aging GIS platforms and tools

Outdated GIS systems make it hard to manage operational data in real time or share insights across teams. Limited multi-user access, weak versioning, and siloed systems slow planning, reporting, and response to incidents.

OUR SOLUTION

Our Solution: Build an enterprise GIS foundation

  • Support multi-user editing, versioning, and secure cross-department access
  • Provide secure, shared access to GIS across teams and departments
  • Establish a single source of truth for operational data
  • Enable real-time collaboration for planning, reporting, and incident response

Problem: Inaccurate or incomplete transit data

When route, stop, or ridership data isn’t reliable, scheduling errors, missed connections, and service gaps become more likely. Disconnected datasets can make it difficult to understand network performance or respond to service disruptions.

OUR SOLUTION

Our Solution: Level up your data

  • Standardize and validate route, stop, and ridership data
  • Apply modern Esri data models and GIS workflows
  • Maintain accurate, up-to-date data across scheduling, operations, and reporting
  • Enable data-driven decisions that improve service reliability and customer satisfaction

Problem: Siloed or inefficient workflows

When planning, maintenance, and operations teams rely on disconnected processes, coordination breaks down. Service changes may not propagate to scheduling, real-time tracking, or rider information systems, creating confusion and inefficiency.

OUR SOLUTION

Our Solution: Gain workflows that work

  • Connect planning, maintenance, and operations workflows
  • Ensure service updates flow across scheduling, tracking, and rider information systems
  • Reduce duplicate effort and shorten update cycles
  • Keep teams aligned with consistent, authoritative data

Problem: Limited internal GIS capacity

Managing transit GIS requires specialized expertise to keep routes, schedules, and assets optimized. Many agencies struggle to balance daily operations with long-term modernization initiatives, leading to backlogs and missed opportunities.

OUR SOLUTION

Our Solution: Augment staff with specialized GIS expertise

  • Receive support for high-priority transit GIS projects
  • Use credit-based, Call-A-Friend to quickly access as-needed support
  • Support modernization initiatives without disrupting daily operations
  • Expand team capacity without adding permanent overhead

Happy Client

The support I received from Quartic was very positive. The Quartic team member was supportive, knowledgeable, and efficient throughout the update of our Esri ArcGIS enterprise environment to version 11.5. The update went smoothly and without any issues, which I attribute to his expertise and preparation. I was very pleased with the level of support provided and how seamless the entire process was.
