Case Study: The Jule improves route reliability and efficiency with TripSpark Streets ITS

The Jule restructures routes in 1 month with TripSpark

The Jule, the public transit system of Dubuque, Iowa, faced challenges with inefficient routes, unreliable service, and manual processes that led to long travel times and uneven bus loads. To address this, they partnered with vendor TripSpark to implement its Streets ITS fixed-route software for real-time tracking and data collection.

TripSpark's solution provided The Jule with real-time operational insights and robust reporting, which enabled a complete route redesign. Within a month, the agency optimized its schedules and adopted a hub-and-spoke model. This resulted in reduced operating costs, shorter travel times, more balanced bus utilization, and increased credibility with city leadership.
