8. Copyright © MV Transportation Technologies, Inc. New Concept: “The Button” for Deviated Fixed Route/Flex Route  Passenger Presses a “Button” or sends a text to summon the bus  Correct vehicle is notified  That vehicle “deviates” to pickup the waiting passenger  The passenger is informed of the estimated arrival time

11. Copyright © MV Transportation Technologies, Inc. The “Button”  On the Microsoft Campus, the “Button” Reduced Loop Time from 29 minutes to 16 minutes on Main Campus  Provides ability to create new types of service

When scheduling done, run TRIM program to adjust start times for drivers ○ Usually 30-60 minutes max ○ Trims slack out of schedule ○ Backs up start times so we get to first pick at the early part of the window Run UPLOAD program to send all start times to the “Driver Line Drivers call in using their Employee ID They are told their start time for tomorrow Asked to TYPE in their start time they heard System tracks who called and what time

13. Copyright © MV Transportation Technologies, Inc. Driver Line  Ability to vary start times on a daily basis  Window of Opportunity 30 – 60 min  Can greatly reduce cost  Can increase on-time performance
