Farebox, APC, and AVL Data Analysis
Warner Transportation Consulting has conducted numerous data collection and analysis studies for transit agencies around the country, and we have the sense that many agencies are not taking full advantage of data from their fareboxes, APC, and AVL systems. This information can be very useful for planning and operations, and--for just a few thousand dollars--can form the basis of a comprehensive operational analysis.
The table below shows the type of reports we can produce from this data. We prepare all charts and maps in color, and bind the document for ease of use. Turnaround time will generally be less than a week after receiving your data.

| 3. Route terminus assessment charts | Two weeks or more of complete AVL data; schedule headway sheets | Item 1 + $25 per route and direction e.g., 20 routes, both directions =$2000 |
| 4. Scheduled layover assessment table | Schedule headway sheets | $800 |
| 5. Scheduled headway analysis | Schedule headway sheets, agency headway standards | $800 |
| 6. Transfer matrix | Farebox data, schedule headway sheets | $1600 |
| 7. Route productivity tables | Farebox data, schedule headway sheets | Item 6 + $400 |
| 8. Passenger on-off charts | Passenger on-off data* | $60 per route, direction, and time period; e.g., weekday, 20 routes =$2400 |
| 9. Passenger on-off summary tables | Passenger on-off data*, bus capacity information | $1600 |
* Note that we can also combine APC, farebox and AVL data to estimate an origin-destination matrix. The result is less precise than what you would get from a comprehensive passenger survey, but it comes at a small fraction of the cost.
