Connectpoint® was awarded a new digital signage contract by Trinity Metro for Connectpoint® Digital Bus Stop displays to be deployed throughout the transit system.
The solar-powered displays are in line with the agency’s environmentally friendly CNG bus fleet and its battery-electric bus route, The Dash.
Trinity Metro awarded Connectpoint its first contract for solar-powered digital signs in 2017, with the first Connectpoint Digital Bus Stop displays deployed in 2018 at the agency’s busiest transfer centers, including Hulen Mall Transfer Center, La Gran Plaza Transfer Center, Sierra Vista Transfer Center and Dr. Dennis Dunkins Transfer Center. Connectpoint will work closely with Trinity Metro to map out new locations such as Trinity Metro’s Fort Worth Central Station, the downtown station for TEXRail and Trinity Railway Express trains, as well as transfer points for multiple Trinity Metro buses.
“Connectpoint is excited about continuing our relationship with Trinity Metro and assisting them with their move toward sustainability and equity,” said Connectpoint President and CEO Rick Wood. “Over the last several years, Trinity Metro has made significant additions to their service, including TEXRail. Connectpoint is proud to be part of Trinity Metro’s ongoing effort to increase resources and services for their riders.”
The Connectpoint Digital Bus Stop® is an advanced solar-powered (or A/C) wireless ePaper digital sign that provides real-time public transportation information 24/7. The ePaper displays are available in multiple sizes and can be quickly installed on poles, at shelters or in a stand-alone fabricated pylon. Connectpoint’s products are used at rail stations, transit hubs and bus stops.
Timely and accurate real-time information is delivered seamlessly to passengers across an agency’s digital signage with Connectpoint’s Connectpoint Asset Management system (CPAM®), designed specifically for the transportation industry. This cloud-based software is intuitive and customizable, allowing agencies to deliver alerts via the agency’s real-time feed, as well as schedule custom messages for their riders. This tool gives agencies the freedom to remotely control as many signs as they please through one integrated backend system.
