As your transit agency manages increasingly complex operations, an integrated approach to location data becomes critical. Esri’s geographic information system (GIS) software is the enterprise technology you need to embed location throughout your business workflows. Enterprise GIS provides the authoritative spatial foundation that connects your entire organization. When your planning department, operations teams, maintenance crews, customer experience groups, and security personnel all operate from the same authoritative geographic data, organizational silos dissolve and your agency becomes a coordinated system capable of responding in real time. This unified approach enables you to optimize your resources and deliver better service to your community.
What You’ll Learn:
- How enterprise GIS unifies transit functions into a seamless, integrated operation where location data becomes a strategic asset across your entire organization.
- Why a unified approach to location analytics drives measurable benefits through instant insights, and removes communication barriers that slow decision-making.
- Proven applications that show how GIS improves safety, reliability, and equity in transit service delivery.
- Real-world success stories and actionable strategies from agencies that have made enterprise GIS central to their operations.

Director, Public Transit Solutions
Esri
With just over 20 years in public transit, mobility and related industries, she successfully pairs her domain expertise with GIS experience to energize GIS teams across the world. Her most recent work at LA Metro radically changed the industry’s view of GIS, where even HR now sees the value add to support more effective workflows. Her slogan, “good data, better technology, best practices” aptly summarizes her call to move towards geospatial enablement. In her current role at Esri, she shows how transit can embed location analytics in non-traditional areas like real estate, marketing, equity, security, and sustainability, so that GIS becomes an institutional capability.
