Major tasks are assistance with the upgrade/replacement of its Automatic Vehicle Location Monitoring (AVLM) and support maintain scheduling system. In addition, the Consultant will assist NYCT upgrade/replacement of its Real Time Scheduling and Dispatch System, from project implementation and systems integration. To provide service to approximately 170,000 disabled customers, Paratransit uses complex technology systems which include computerized Scheduling & Dispatching software for 30,000 or more trips/day. Integrated with the Scheduling and Dispatching software are an Automatic Vehicle Location Monitoring (AVLM) system (comprised of software and hardware) currently for up to 1,300 vehicles and a computerized Interactive Voice Response (IVR) system that includes call-outs to customers when their vehicle is approaching. IVR interacts with the Avaya telephone system located at the Long Island City headquarters. Paratransit also utilizes Non[1]Dedicated Broker Providers for 19,000 or more trips/day. Non-Dedicated Broker Providers offer customers with greater capacity, ability to pay via credit card, and improve day of service response times. In addition, customers can use the internet & smartphone to access their accounts and to request trips using MYmta app. These separate systems, all provided and maintained by different manufacturers and vendors, are tightly integrated and changes to one affect other systems. Paratransit requires the assistance of the Project Management office to provide expertise and guidance to assist in upgrading and revamping the technological operation and functionality of these highly complex systems as the demands of the Paratransit service require. This expertise is not available in[1]house and Paratransit finds it is more cost effective and efficient to obtain the experience and knowledge it needs by contracting with an outside firm with Intelligent Transportation Systems (ITS) experience to assist with Project Management as needed with these technological systems.
