MCT serves the entire geographic area known as the Florida Keys, an elongated island chain extending 120 miles from mainland Miami-Dade County. Currently, the system is heavily reliant on staff intervention to ensure reserve and dispatch trips. Implementation of a computer-assisted software program will provide real-time opportunities for demand reservation booking. This system enhancement will allow for the latest vehicle movements to be searched and for these data to be immediately available. It is believed that the availability of real-time vehicle location data will result in the following positive impacts: . increased trips being booked within a rider's requested timeframe . more trips provided . better on-time performance . improved customer satisfaction . enhanced convenience to the most at-risk rider class. Mobile Data Terminals have the added benefit of allowing the dispatch staff to track the location and progress of each vehicle in the MCT fleet. This information can be related to customers inquiring into the expected arrival time of the MCT bus. MCT riders are Monroe Count's most elderly, frail, and handicapped who are unable to wait in the hot sun, rain, or other elements for any prolonged period. Therefore, rider knowledge of pickup and drop off times can be critical for a signifiicant number of riders. MCT also serves those persons with Special Needs, specifically the elderly and handicapped, taking them to safety when storms threaten the Florida Keys. Transportation of persons to Special Needs Shelters is assured by maintaining a well-equipped transit fleet. Mobile Date Terminals will further enhance the mobilization and operation of the Special Needs responsibilities of MCT. No disruption in regular service will be experienced when Mobile Data Terminals are installed within the vehicles.
