Click Here To Locate Your Bus Using Track-It
Track-It, a state-of-the-art intelligent transportation system, provides AVTA customers with real-time bus location information. The $2.4 million system monitors AVTA's entire fleet of local and commuter buses via a Global Positioning Satellite (GPS) tracking system. AVTA passengers can now rely on 24/7 access to bus departure information using their smartphones or computer.
When a bus is delayed or detoured due to roadwork or other causes, customers will be able to track the bus’s progress on the route. Passengers will also be able to receive text alerts notifying them of an upcoming bus departure, making trip planning easier than ever before.
The Track-It system is equipped with cell/SMS/text capabilities, so mobile phone users without the application can request and receive bus information via text message. Simply text "AV" plus the bus stop number to 321123 and departure information will be replied back to you. Customers can also visit the AVTA website home page or go to http://track-it.avta.com, where a computerized map will show the current position of each bus, tracked by GPS. In compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act, Track-It enables AVTA buses to now have automated announcements of upcoming stops on each route.
AVTA has also installed digital signs at Sgt. Steve Owen Memorial Park and at the Palmdale Transportation Center, that display updated bus departure information, and soon, Track-It signs will be posted at bus stops, to help passengers with smart and regular cell phones easily obtain bus location information.
