The team at North Central Regional Transit District (NCRTD) faces a formidable challenge: providing transit services across approximately 10,000 sq miles of rural northern New Mexico. With a mix of fixed-route and demand-responsive bus services, NCRTD links small cities like Santa Fe and Taos, rural communities, and Native pueblos across the state. But after COVID disrupted demand patterns, and a driver shortage forced route cancellations and consolidations, NCRTD’s team found themselves making route modifications on a weekly basis — impossible in such a large and complex system without Remix.
Now one staff member can complete NCRTD’s bi-annual service re-bid process, which previously took a month of staff time, in a single day. Remix automatically catches the kinds of errors that were inevitable in the pen-and-paper planning and scheduling process. By drastically reducing the staff time required to make route modifications, Remix has made it possible for NCRTD to make more frequent changes in response to community needs and requests. Remix’s runcuts and rosters make better use of NCRTD’s limited driver pool: the agency was able to reduce the number of driver shifts required for its network by 20%. NCRTD’s transit system is now more efficient — both in staff and driver time — and more flexible, ready to meet any challenges ahead.
