The company develops on-demand transit scheduling software that enables transit providers to increase productivity, streamline efficiency, and provide client satisfaction.

“As we celebrate this milestone, we are proud of the achievements we’ve made, and we look forward to the next 50 years of innovations,” says Spiro Gjorgjievski, president. “We’ve seen a lot of changes over the years and are happy to provide transit agencies with the technology they need to fulfill their vision to serve their communities and enhance the rider experience.”

As Ecolane kicks off its 21st year, the company reflects on some of its recent achievements including a newly-launched INSIGHT by Ecolane, an AI-powered business intelligence tool that enables transit agencies to understand riding patterns so they can better plan for their future demand and optimize fleet operations.

Ecolane is also setting its sights on the future of mobility.

“We believe in the future of free and sustainable mobility, centered on inclusive experiences that foster community relationships,” said Gjorgjievski. “In the spirit of collaboration, we are proud to work alongside multiple stakeholders, riders, drivers, dispatchers, managers and shift supervisors to build a product roadmap that will enhance innovation, safety and security of all participants.”

Ecolane said it will continue expanding sales in the U.S. and Canada, while also exploring opportunities in other geographies, and developing Ecolane’s next-generation multi-modal platform.
