Cities are betting big on buses. Urban and suburban centers across the country are investing in new buses, bus routes, and bus lanes to provide safe and reliable public transportation, spur new economic development and reduce traffic congestion as the pandemic recedes and Americans return to work. Buses play a vital role in cities’ goals to reduce carbon emissions, and they’re a big part of Vision Zero programs to eliminate pedestrian traffic deaths.

A successful bus system requires proper enforcement. Cities must monitor illegal parking to ensure bus lanes stay clear for timely transit and safer streets.

Smart computer vision technology leverages automated intelligence to identify and issue citations for illegally parked cars.

To learn how smart tech is already transforming cities’ approach to bus transit, join us June 24 at 11 PT/2 ET. In this complimentary 30-minute discussion, our virtual panel of industry experts will discuss this technology and the key role it plays in the next generation of urban infrastructure investments.
