RidePilot

RidePilot is a web-based transportation scheduling and reporting system with an easy-to-use interface and underlying database designed for small and medium-sized agencies.

Built to streamline operations, RidePilot empowers agencies to create, manage and schedule vehicles, drivers, customers, trips, runs and reports without a complex spreadsheet or expensive off-the-shelf system.

Agencies can deploy RidePilot on behalf of smaller agencies that they oversee. These multi-tenant application deployments make it cost effective for small agencies to have basic scheduling and grant management.

RidePilot can help you:

Track driver information, like license renewals, and vehicle data such as, recurring compliance events, maintenance requirements and mileage;
Create one-time or recurring trips from a specified pick-up location to a selected drop-off destination;
Assign trips to drivers using “drag and drop” functionality. Schedulers and dispatchers can easily make changes and update schedules throughout the day;
Automate 5310 and National Transit Database (NTD) grant reports.
Communicate trip information to drivers through tablet-based automated vehicle location technology;
Manage driver availability. Track each driver’s recurring availability, leave and changes to schedule.

Grant Compliance Reporting

In addition to trip scheduling and management, RidePilot can be used for grant compliance information reporting. It’s required to report maintenance completed, mileage and usage for vehicles purchased with grant funds.

Use RidePilot to automate required 5310 and NTD reports. RidePilot's automated data collection saves time and helps mitigate human error in reporting.

Open Source Opens Doors

As an open-source solution, the source code for the RidePilot platform is open to the public and can be accessed here.

Because RidePilot is open source, new features and ongoing system enhancements in the RidePilot roadmap are funded by a community of agencies with support from Cambridge Systematics. We manage and conduct software development and maintenance tasks on behalf of agencies using RidePilot, providing industry expertise to maintain Federal compliance and best practices in Human Services Transportation, trip planning and scheduling. Enhancements and new features are made freely available for all agencies , so that investments by individual agencies and regional sponsors can be leveraged by the broader community.
