Transit Agencies

Meet your riders where they are—online, offline, and everywhere in between—with a single platform for engagement that informs every step forward.

Community Engagement Software For Transit Agencies

Transit riders expect real-time updates and a voice in decisions, but limited staff, siloed tools, and rising transparency demands make effective outreach difficult during route changes, fare adjustments, or long-range planning. PublicInput simplifies and scales engagement by uniting digital outreach, in-person feedback, meetings, and analytics in one transit-focused platform. Teams can launch projects quickly using pre-built templates, automate workflows, and eliminate the need for spreadsheets or manual reporting. With tools like GIS mapping, language filters, and CRM integration, you can target riders by route, ZIP code, or language, whether they’re online, in transit, or reached through community partners. PublicInput also supports compliance with Title VI, NEPA, and Justice40 by tracking who you’re engaging and identifying equity gaps. AI-powered analysis and custom dashboards turn feedback into clear insights, helping you move faster, build trust, and make data-informed decisions.
