Case Study: AC Transit achieves its biggest service expansion since the recession with Remix

AC Transit Plans Its Biggest Service Increase Since the Recession

AC Transit faced a big planning challenge after a Bay Area ballot gave them a 14% increase in operating budget to fund AC Go — a major expansion of routes, night/weekend service, and more frequent headways. To avoid getting bogged down in spreadsheets, long meetings, and repeated rework, the agency adopted Remix’s planning platform to streamline route design, costing, and stakeholder review in one tool.

Using Remix, planners edited routes on the fly during meetings and instantly saw cost and service impacts, cutting route-scenario development from 1.5 days to 30 minutes (a 24x productivity gain). Meetings became twice as productive and half as long with 10% fewer sessions overall; new hires onboarded in half the time and drivers learned new routes in 90 minutes — results AC Transit credits directly to Remix.
