Advanced Public Transportation Systems (APTS) are designed to improve transit service and passenger safety. Some programs that are currently operational include:

• Electronic payment (VISA/MC/debit cards) provides a convenient payment option for transit fare, and minimizes the amount of cash a passenger needs to carry
• Automatic Vehicle Location (AVL) technology allows a dispatch center to "track" its buses, which improves response time in case of an accident as well as up to the minute information on bus schedule and arrival times
• Traveler information kiosks with current transit information give passengers current status of bus schedules and available routes
