Transit Services

Solutient delivers high-level expertise on everything from grant management, administration, planning/GIS and staffing to meet public transit goals.

Solutient goes beyond industry standards in transit services. While we often see municipalities contracting with large transit firms to operate large fleets of trolleys and buses, the management of these firms is up to each municipality. When municipalities partner with Solutient, we handle all aspects of management and operations. Solutient staffs the administrative functions of these agencies by providing experienced transit managers who bring to the table all the skills local government requires.

Solutient goes above and beyond general transit operator roles, to provide extensive support and work towards the jurisdiction’s transit goals.

Transit Grant Management and Administration to ensure proper compliance, inclusivity, accurate preparations, smooth RFP and bidding processes, and more.

Transit Planning & GIS to provide elements such as proper research, clear projections, safety compliance, financial analyses, and more. 

Transit Marketing to provide informative communication to the community regarding implemented systems.
