CMBC accepted the award at this year’s Trapeze User Conference, currently being held in San Diego, California. The Innovate Award honors transportation operators using technology in a new and fresh way bringing measurable benefits to the agency and a better experience to transit riders. The process was devised out of necessity following the 2010 Olympics when CMBC was faced with an excess number of Operators. This situation was compounded by reductions in anticipated system growth due to budget constraints. To avoid temporary layoffs until the manpower was needed again to cover vacations and anticipated attrition, Process Manager Alex Gerchikov offered a solution to use the Trapeze BlockBuster software to reduce the length of runs and put more operators back to work. TransLink and CMBC have been valued Trapeze customers for more than 20 years. About Trapeze Software Trapeze Group delivers solutions that consider the full 360 degrees of passenger transport. Whether addressing the needs of a single department, an entire organization, or the community, Trapeze provides some of the most advanced software, intelligent transportation systems (ITS) and mobile technologies in the industry. Hundreds of government and commercial organizations across Europe, North America and Asia Pacific have turned to Trapeze to realize efficiencies, enhance the quality and scope of their services, and safely transport more people with less cost.
