ThinkTransit is back, and it’s right around the corner. If you’re a current Vontas customer, there’s a dedicated event track to help you learn how to get even more out of your investment. This year’s “Vontas: Getting the Most Out of Your Vontas Investment” sessions are all about real-world insights and connecting directly with the people behind the tech. Whether you’re trying to streamline operations, plan a cloud migration, or just pick up a few smart tips to bring back to your team, this track has you covered.
Monday Sessions: Real Stories and Revenue Opportunities
Start ThinkTransit by hearing directly from fellow Vontas customers in the “Customer Showcase: Innovations and Success Stories with Vontas”. This session highlights creative, real-world uses of Vontas data, from operational wins to improvements in rider experience. It’s a great chance to gather ideas you can take back to your agency.
Right after that, head into the “Expert Exchange: Ideas & Answers with Vontas,” an open forum where attendees bring the questions and the Vontas team brings the insights. Whether you’re troubleshooting a technical challenge, planning a product rollout, or just want to learn what’s next, this session will help you hear from the people who know Vontas best.
Later in the day, “Maximizing Investments in Digital Information Displays” dives into a critical but often overlooked topic: signage. You’ll hear from Message Point Media (MPM) on how to retrofit older signs, upgrade onboard displays, and even integrate with advertising platforms to boost revenue. It’s a practical session with direct financial upside.
Tuesday Sessions: Tech Deep Dives and Rail Innovation
Tuesday kicks off with “In-Vehicle Hardware: What’s Driving Your Bus,” an interactive look at the systems powering your fleet. This session gives you a closer look at Vontas’ in-vehicle hardware and communication tools, with advice for optimizing performance and navigating tricky integrations. It’s perfect for teams responsible for keeping your tech running smoothly on the road.
If rail operations are your focus, stick around for “Unlocking the Future of CAD/AVL for Rail in Public Transit Operations.” This session dives into how CAD/AVL systems are advancing rail efficiency to provide greater visibility and smarter control for operations and business leaders. Whether you’re in the weeds of rail dispatching or just exploring future-ready tech, you’ll walk away with valuable best practices and fresh insight.
Wednesday Sessions: Cloud Strategies and Smarter Planning
Wrap up your ThinkTransit experience with a day focused on strategic growth and smarter system use. The day starts with “The Vontas Cloud Experience,” where you’ll learn why agencies choose to move to cloud-based OnRoute and OnSite deployments. Explore everything from migration strategies and risk mitigation to the real-world benefits of cloud flexibility and security.
After that, “Exploring the Vontas Knowledge Hub” introduces the newly redesigned Help Center. If your team ever needs fast answers or just wants to explore product features, this session will show you how to find training videos and detailed how-to guides that make it easier to succeed with Vontas at your own pace.
Then it’s time to look “Beyond the Rearview Mirror” with a session all about data. You’ll learn how to use CAD/AVL data from OnRoute, paired with ViewPoint’s advanced analytics, to make smarter decisions. Whether you’re optimizing service, exploring “what-if” scenarios, or tracking operational performance in real time, this session will show you how to turn your data into real impact.
Finally, don’t miss “From Factory to Fleet: Smarter Commissioning.” It’s all about reducing headaches and delays by planning ahead. You’ll learn how to streamline OEM deliveries and configure hardware before it even arrives so you can set your project up for long-term success.
