Case Study: Stony Brook University achieves smarter campus transit with ETA Transit Systems

Stony Brook University preserves $34,000 in APC investments with ETA Transit

Stony Brook University faced a challenge when its contract with a previous bus-tracking provider ended, leaving students and staff without reliable real-time tracking for its campus shuttle system. The university needed a new solution that could be deployed quickly, integrate with its existing automated passenger counters to protect prior investments, and improve rider communication and accessibility. They partnered with ETA Transit to implement a modern CAD/AVL real-time tracking system.

ETA Transit delivered a comprehensive suite that included real-time tracking via the SPOT app, integration of the existing APC hardware, and automatic voice announcements. The solution was rapidly deployed, restoring rider confidence and providing data transparency. The integration alone preserved approximately $34,000 in existing equipment investments. The university's Director of Transportation highly recommended ETA Transit for its timely implementation and the advanced features provided.
