  <title><![CDATA[Parking & Transportation Services Introduces New Bus Tracking App]]></title>
  <body><![CDATA[<p>Parking and Transportation Services (PTS) has introduced a new bus tracking mobile application to serve the Georgia Tech campus community. This new mobile application, TransLoc, replaces Passio Go and the former Stingerette nighttime safety shuttle system.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>TransLoc will provide fixed route bus tracking and on-demand Stingerette safety shuttle access all in one mobile application, shifting away from using two tracking apps. TransLoc is available in the <a href="https://apps.apple.com/us/app/transloc/id1280444930" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">App Store</a> and <a href="https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.transloc.microtransit&amp;hl=en_US" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">Google Play</a>.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p>

<p>This enhanced technology is installed within the new bus fleet, providing a robust reporting suite that includes automated passenger counting and stop announcements. This new feature will help PTS improve service delivery and service planning. It will also help retrieve estimated real-time ridership data for the Stinger shuttle service.&nbsp;</p>

<p>TransLoc is used locally by other Metro Atlanta institutions such as Emory, Kennesaw State, and SCAD.&nbsp;</p>

<p>For more information and to download the app, please visit <a href="https://transloc.com/app/" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">transloc.com/app/</a>. Real-time route information can be found at <a href="http://bus.gatech.edu/routes" rel="noreferrer noopener" target="_blank">bus.gatech.edu</a>.&nbsp;</p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
