RIPTA RIde Program
RIPTA RIde Program

Overland Park, Kansas (PRWEB) September 25, 2014 -- http://www.revealservices.com

Mark Therrien, Assistant General Manager states, “Every technology company we inquired all promised the same thing, but none of them could perform what they promised. We needed next generation software and Reveal is the next generation software!

Post this

Reveal Management Services, Inc. (http://www.revealservices.com) – an Overland Park, KS, company announced today that it has successfully implemented its Mobility Management Paratransit Software system to the Rhode Island Public Transit Authority (RIPTA). RIPTA is challenged with providing quality customer satisfaction with multiple ridership venues from ADA, Medicare, several Workshops and Meal-sites and the associated costs with its paratransit services throughout the State. The legacy system was out dated and ineffective in meeting the goals of RIPTA’s mobility management vision. Reveal’s mobility management platform allows RIPTA to create more efficient routes, improve modal connectivity, improve on-time performance, increase productivity, decrease mileage per trip and substantially reduce the average cost per trip for their riders. This allows RIPTA to expand its paratransit services to more riders without increasing its operating budget.

Mark Therrien, Assistant General Manager of RIPTA with direct oversight of the RIde program, states “Changing software in the paratransit environment can be very challenging and stressful. Working with the Reveal team while implementing Reveal’s Technology and Workflow processes has been a very supportive and truly a team effort. Reveal’s operations and software experience helped us avoid startup pitfalls the first week. We look forward to continued growth with Reveal! Training to use Reveal’s software system has already allowed RIPTA to advance service quality and cost controls”.

Key statistics and Proven Results!

The new system is already providing the following capabilities to RIPTA staff, ridership, and the community:

• Verified productivity of 1.82 rides per revenue hour, a 6% increase
• Greater Operational Controls
• 5% Decrease in average mile per trip length
• 6% Decrease in overall driver paid hours while increasing weekday trips in excess of 5%
• 31% Decrease in daily taxi provided trips equating to annual savings of $350,000

The implementation and conversion from the legacy software system was very smooth and seamless. Substantial benefits and value have already been achieved. Scott Schoessel, Reveal President/CEO stated, “The implementation of Reveal’s scheduling and dispatching technology has made an immediate positive impact in both customer service and the overall financial responsibility by increasing scheduled on-time performance and productivity, while decreasing the deadhead miles and the average length per trip”.    

All the numbers are exactly what RIPTA was hoping regarding providing a higher level of quality customer service while managing the cost to provide in a more cost effective manner. Mark Therrien, Assistant General Manager states, “Every technology company we inquired all promised the same thing, but none of them could perform what they promised. We needed next generation software and quality assurance tools, and Reveal is the next generation software we were looking for”.
