Utilizing TDM Solutions for Event Transportation
Streamline fleets for game-day transportation needs at your university
Big Games Need Smart Solutions
As the Fall semester starts, there are likely more trips happening besides just commuting to and from campus. Many universities plan complex charter bus options for student fans to get to and from their university’s sporting events. TDM professionals can ramp up their campus transportation services and gain new insight into the changing needs of their riders by using a TMS that incorporates day-to-day, gameday and other trips on campus.
The Gameplan: A Flexible System
Does your university use an intuitive and flexible system, centralized in one dashboard? Given the changes to hybrid schedules and the longstanding need for special events transportation, there has been no better time for universities to invest in a TDM solution that makes managing all campus transportation easy.
Universities can harness new technology like fixed route reservations or data-driven parking management to streamline the transportation for game day, allowing for happier riders and easy scheduling for dispatchers. With an all-in-one solution allowing transit admins to manage many different transportation options, there are endless benefits to a university.
