The initiative is part of the Caltrans-led California Integrated Travel Project to improve travel planning and transit payments throughout the state.
Calif.-based Monterey Salinas Transit was one of six transit agencies recognized.
In celebration of the festival’s recent 60th Anniversary, MST revamped the exhibits to showcase a new generation of performers from the most recent festivals.
Over the past 16 months, WAVE has deployed a number of projects including Utah Transit Authority’s full service 50kW system and Monterey Salinas Transit’s commercial service waterfront trolley.
The new modules will allow MST’s employees to access various functionalities over the Web, including bidding on work and vacation choices, and make it easier for the agency to establish run times, produce detailed itineraries with accurate distance calculations and automatically format schedules suitable for posting at each stop.
Monterey-Salinas Transit contracted Argentinian artist Pablo Lobato — who also designs for the Monterey Jazz Festival — to design bus wraps for its new BRT line.
In partnership with the Monterey Jazz Festival, the new Sand City Station and 24 new bus shelters along the route will allow waiting passengers to download jazz concert recordings from past festival performances.
One option to help keep costs down is replacing older vehicles through an accelerated vehicle acquisition plan that uses municipal leases. With tight credit markets and limited access to capital markets, this is an efficient, less costly option.
The $2.77 million in federal funding will be matched by $700,000 in California Proposition 1B Transportation Bond funds, and will provide new shelters, curb expansions, and electronic real-time bus arrival/departure signs.
