In 2009, The Worcester Regional Transit Authority (WRTA) purchased a suite of Intelligent Transportation Systems to improve fixed-route bus service. This project quantitatively and qualitatively analyzed the impacts of these technologies and established benchmarks that the WRTA could use to perform future evaluations. Based on this analysis, we drew preliminary conclusions and made recommendations to the WRTA to more effectively use and evaluate these technologies.
