Committee approves five-year transit software contract for Danville Mass Transit
Summary
The Danville Public Works Committee voted to approve a five-year contract with Ecolane USA for intelligent transportation software, funded by Rebuild Illinois and Downstate Operating Assistance (5307) funds; Director Steve White said the new system should go live in the third week of July.
The Public Works Committee on June 9 approved a five-year contract with Ecolane USA to provide intelligent transportation services software for Danville Mass Transit, with setup and year-one costs to be paid from a Rebuild Illinois grant and years two through five to be funded from Downstate Operating Assistance (5307) funds. The resolution passed on a roll-call vote with five ayes and two members absent.
Public Transportation Director Steve White said the software is the rural-side platform intended to improve online access for riders and familiar scheduling tasks. "The new software should go live in the third week of July," White said. He also told the committee that IDOT recently confirmed the need for a new vehicle facility because 17 vehicles are currently parked outside and the new buses do not fit the parking garage due to height constraints. The monthly recap presented to the committee listed April ridership at 41,307.
The committee recorded the financial source for the contract and noted staff work on state funding and grant administration. White invited the public to the DMT annual cookout and said staff are coordinating next steps for facility funding with IDOT and CRIS Rural Transit.
