The Memphis Area Transportation Authority (MATA) is responsible for capturing real-time transit data which must be aggregated and analyzed in reports shared with the City of Memphis, federal agencies, and the public.
These reports help city leaders track changes in ridership demand, fuel usage, and more for internal decision-making purposes. The information is also made available to the general public as well.
Currently, MATA faces many challenges in conveying insights to stakeholders. By working with Urban SDK, they will have access to Smart Sync for real-time transit analytics, prescriptive and ad-hoc business intelligence that will help MATA and city leadership make more timely decisions regarding changing demand and resources.
Leveraging Urban SDK's experience in Smart City Data Management, Open Data platforms, Mobility Intelligence and transit data developer tools they will also improve how transit information is shared openly with their riders, the residents of the City of Memphis, and establish a protocol for app developers to assisting with trip planning, payment, routing, and general transit innovation capabilities.
Urban SDK won a competitive solicitation process to collaborate with the City of Memphis and The Memphis Area Transportation Authority (MATA) as part of the Startup in Residence Program.
We are incredibly excited to partner with the City of Memphis and MATA to implement Smart Sync, our mobility intelligence platform, for the MATA transit planning team and the city's department of performance measurement.
