FTA Seeks XPEDITE Input

Oct. 13, 2015

The Federal Transit Administration (FTA) launched our Expedited Public Transportation Improvement (XPEDITE) Initiative to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of public transportation and deliver projects that save time and money.

To that end, it set up an online dialogue where you can send us your best ideas and comment on ideas from others. FTA dialogue focuses on:

  • Improved public transportation technologies
  • Methods to speed up planning, development, approval, and delivery of FTA capital investments
  • Financing methods and opportunities for public-private partnerships through “value capture” that support capital investments

FTA is investing in new technologies that can make transit more efficient and effective. Visit XPEDITE to lend your ideas to remove obstacles to technological adoption, help attract new technology manufacturers to public transit and promote the adoption of technology in the transit industry. It also want to know your thoughts about public-private partnerships that have successfully implemented technological innovation in the transit industry.
