Texas Transportation Provider Expands Use of Knightscope Technologies (Photo: Business Wire)
This client operates bus, paratransit services and a commuter rail system that serves a large city and several suburbs in multiple counties of central Texas. They cover over 500 square miles of service area with a system of more than 1,600 bus stops and 80 routes. The system supported a ridership of over 21 million people, or approximate 81,000 per weekday, as of the third quarter of 2023.
Knightscope’s Blue Light Towers provide those passengers with familiar, highly visible points to establish reliable, one-touch communication with emergency services. Blue Light Towers are always available and are particularly helpful when cell phone service is scarce or a phone’s battery has died, and they provide the exact location of the device being used so that services may be quickly dispatched. By contrast, law enforcement professionals are unable to pinpoint people using their personal cellular devices to contact 911 because GPS data is not transmitted through the system.
