Flowbird’s Astreo TVMs are designed to streamline the fare payment process, featuring an intuitive LED color touch-screen display, high-capacity ticket vending, and account reload capabilities suitable for busy transit environments.
Exactly what the new railcars will look like is still being decided; PRT has formed an internal committee to determine what features and amenities should be included.
The operating budget totals $539.3 million, an increase of less than 1% over last year’s budget, reflecting changes in inflation, rising costs in goods, and a labor shortage that is affecting transit agencies across the country.
The plan identifies short- and long-term steps PRT can take to reduce its reliance on fossil fuels, production of greenhouse gases, and the negative environmental impacts they create.
Talson Solutions will review recent incline contracts, as well as current procedures and protocols. They will start their work this month.
The agency will combine multiple projects initially intended to be completed separately to streamline operations, maximize efficiency, and minimize disruptions, while enhancing the overall reliability and safety of this critical transit corridor.
The review will be conducted by an objective third party and overseen by a committee, which will include local stakeholders, including affected business owners.
