RailFocus provides essential functionality to transit and commuter rail operations managers. Managers can access status information and up-to-the-minute operations reports. Operations staff have up-to-date information on crews, equipment, schedules, delays, reported defects, FRA/FTA restrictions, and scheduled track repairs. Analysts have access to detailed data and tools to prepare reports and queries for performance monitoring, ridership analysis, delay analysis, and equipment and crew utilization reporting to meet FTA requirements and improve service.
