The Tech Corner: Avail—Unlocking Value in Transit Assets Through Innovation

Driving Efficiency, Reliability, and Sustainable Growth

SPECIAL ADVERTISING SECTION

Public transit agencies today face a complex mix of challenges: aging infrastructure, regulatory requirements, and limited budgets. To meet these demands, many are turning to integrated technology platforms that support smarter asset management and operational efficiency. Avail Technologies’ Transit Assets Suite is a cutting-edge platform that’s redefining how agencies manage, maintain, and optimize their assets.

At the center of the system is myAvail ETMS (Enterprise Transit Management Software), a cloud-based platform designed to unify key operational areas—fleet management, maintenance, dispatch, finance, human resources, and compliance. By consolidating these functions into a single interface, agencies can reduce data fragmentation and improve coordination across departments for paperless operations.

A notable feature of the platform is its Transit Assets Solutions module, which digitizes fault reporting and integrates it with maintenance workflows. Operators can submit reports directly from the field, triggering automated work orders that reach technicians before the vehicle returns to the depot. This real-time visibility into vehicle health supports faster response times and helps reduce service disruptions.

The system also includes tools for Work-Order Management, using historical data and condition assessments to support predictive maintenance. Maintenance teams can access dashboards that help prioritize tasks, manage parts inventory, and monitor technician performance. These features are designed to align with FTA Transit Asset Management (TAM) guidelines and promote a state of good repair.

Avail’s Asset Management capabilities extend to lifecycle tracking for vehicles, facilities, components, and equipment. Preventive maintenance tools and fault reporting features help agencies address issues proactively, contributing to longer asset lifespans and fewer road calls.

In addition to maintenance and asset tracking, the platform offers Enterprise Business Intelligence tools. A centralized data warehouse and reporting engine provide insights into performance metrics, budget usage, NTD reporting, and compliance. Agencies can use pre-configured reports or customize analytics to support planning and decision-making. Role-based interfaces ensure that both leadership and operational staff have access to relevant data.

Scalable, secure, and purpose-built for transit, myAvail ETMS is more than just software, it’s a strategic enabler for agencies seeking to modernize operations, optimize resources, and elevate service delivery.  Avail is driven to partner with organizations that share its values and vision to revolutionize the adoption of ITS to solve real-world transit challenges.
