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
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Outdated GIS systems make it hard to manage operational data in real time or share insights across teams.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.

Problem: Inaccurate or incomplete transit data
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
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
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
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
