In today’s fast-paced transit environment, effective asset management is critical to maintaining the
reliability and safety of public transportation systems. With the complexity of managing a diverse
range of assets—from rolling stock to fixed infrastructure—transit agencies need robust tools to
streamline operations, reduce costs, and ensure timely maintenance.

What role does preventative maintenance play in fleet management?
Preventative maintenance is crucial for keeping transit vehicles in a state of good repair and
ensuring the safety and reliability of services. The software allows agencies to set up maintenance
cycles, determine inspection frequencies, and define minimum servicing requirements. By
adhering to a preventative maintenance schedule, agencies can reduce errors, increase
operational efficiency, and extend the lifespan of their assets. The system also tracks vehicle
history, providing insights into costs per mile, miles between failures, and overall vehicle health.

How does the myAvail Transit Assets suite leverage data-driven reports and advanced
business intelligence to enhance decision-making for transit agencies?
The myAvail Transit Assets suite offers robust data-driven reporting capabilities through its
comprehensive maintenance dashboard. This advanced business intelligence solution
consolidates data across the entire agency into an intuitive visual platform, enabling transit
agencies to make informed decisions with confidence. The dashboard provides critical metrics
such as the cost of planned versus unplanned maintenance, road call expenses, and upcoming
scheduled maintenance. Users can define key performance indicators (KPIs), set specific targets,
and drill down into detailed analyses to gain a clearer understanding of current performance. This
powerful tool also supports self-service reporting, trend exploration, and other essential metrics,
empowering agencies to optimize operations and enhance overall efficiency.

How does myAvail ETMS streamline work order requests and ensure efficient maintenance
management across the organization?
myAvail ETMS simplifies work order management by allowing requests to be initiated from any
point within the organization. Whether it’s an operator identifying a failure during a pre-trip
inspection or a customer service representative reporting an issue like a leaking sink at a transit
center, the system seamlessly routes these requests into the maintenance management system.
Each request is prioritized, assigned, and tracked until completion, ensuring timely repairs and
reducing downtime. The system’s integration with inventory, vehicle maintenance, and general
ledger modules further enhances efficiency by automatically updating inventory levels, calculating
costs, and generating necessary transactions. Additionally, work orders are equipped with
barcodes for quick scanning, enabling real-time updates and accurate record-keeping. This
comprehensive approach ensures that all maintenance activities are efficiently managed and
documented, leading to a well-maintained fleet and facilities.

What is the unique advantage for an agency to have the combined functionality of a CAD/AVL
and myAvail Transit Assets system?
The integration of a CAD/AVL system with myAvail Transit Assets offers a unique advantage by
creating a seamless connection between real-time vehicle operations and asset management. This
combined functionality allows agencies to automatically identify and track equipment deployed on
buses, ensuring that maintenance needs are promptly addressed based on real-time data. For
example, when a vehicle experiences an issue, the CAD/AVL system immediately communicates
this to the myAvail Transit Assets system, which can then generate a work order, check for active
warranties, and update the vehicle’s maintenance history—all in one streamlined process. This
integration not only enhances operational efficiency but also ensures that agencies maintain a
state of good repair, reduce downtime, and optimize the lifespan of their assets. By bringing
together operational data and asset management, agencies gain a powerful tool for making
informed decisions, improving service reliability, and ultimately delivering better transit
experiences to their communities.
