Transit Solutions

Keeping Every Route Running Safely, On Time, and Under Control

Public transit agencies face a unique operational challenge: managing a distributed workforce of drivers, operators, and maintenance staff spread across dozens of routes, hundreds of vehicles, and multiple facilities—all while ensuring the safety and satisfaction of tens of thousands of daily riders. Reliable, integrated communication technology is the operational backbone that makes this possible. Day Wireless Systems partners with transit authorities across the Western US to deliver the communication and security solutions that keep fleets connected, incidents managed, and operations running smoothly. With expertise in both vehicle and facility communications, we provide end-to-end solutions tailored to the specific demands of public transportation.

Two-Way Radio for Transit Operations

Motorola MOTOTRBO digital two-way radios are the communication foundation for transit operations across the region. Rugged, reliable, and designed for all-day operation, MOTOTRBO radios connect bus and rail operators with dispatch, maintenance teams with operations centers, and supervisors with every corner of their service area. The MOTOTRBO platform supports separate talk groups for operations, maintenance, and administration, enabling targeted communication without cross-channel congestion.

Radio Dispatch — Avtec Scout

One of the most important—and often overlooked—elements of a transit communication system is the dispatch console that ties it all together. Many transit agencies operate mixed radio environments, running equipment from multiple vendors across different frequencies and technologies. The Avtec Scout Enterprise Dispatch Console is specifically designed for this reality: it is radio-agnostic, connecting to virtually any radio system—Motorola, Kenwood, Harris, Hytera, and others—as well as telephony and broadband/LTE technologies, all within a single unified interface.

Day Wireless has deployed Avtec Scout across a number of transit operations in the region, and the results speak for themselves: dispatchers gain a consolidated view of every channel and resource, audio quality is exceptional, and the system's open-standards architecture means it can grow and adapt as your agency's needs evolve. Scout is available in four models—E1, E4, E8, and EX—that can be mixed and matched across your dispatch center, scaling from a compact stand-alone unit managing four radios all the way up to the EX, which can monitor up to 250 audio streams and 2,000 channels for the largest and most complex operations. For transit agencies already using Motorola MOTOTRBO, Scout is also the official dispatch console solution for that platform. And for agencies looking to add real-time situational awareness to their dispatch operations, Scout integrates directly with CommandCentral Aware, bringing live mapping, streaming video, and incident data into the same dispatcher view. Day Wireless handles full Scout implementation—system design, installation, integration with your existing radio infrastructure, and dispatcher training.

TRBOWEST Wide-Area Coverage for Transit

Bus fleets operating across the Western US rely on the TRBOWEST digital radio network for seamless communication coverage that extends well beyond the boundaries of any single agency's infrastructure. TRBOWEST, the largest carrier digital two-way network in the US covers Washington, Oregon, Idaho, Utah, and Northern California, providing bus operators with reliable radio contact throughout their service area. Dispatch consoles, GPS tracking, and data applications integrate with the TRBOWEST network, giving operations centers a complete operational picture without the cost and complexity of building and maintaining their own wide-area radio infrastructure.

On-Board Video Surveillance

Video surveillance on transit vehicles has become essential for rider safety, incident documentation, and operator protection. Modern transit camera systems provide multi-camera coverage of the vehicle interior and exterior, with options for real-time video streaming back to operations centers via mobile data connections. Avigilon's AI-powered analytics can detect unusual behavior—including altercations, medical incidents, and abandoned objects—and alert supervisors automatically. Recorded footage is captured locally on hardened storage devices and can be retrieved wirelessly at the depot, eliminating the need for physical media retrieval from each vehicle. Day Wireless designs and installs transit video systems that are ruggedized for vibration, temperature extremes, and the demanding duty cycles of transit operations.

WAVE PTX Broadband Push-to-Talk

Transit operations increasingly require communication that extends beyond the traditional radio network. Supervisors in the field, transit police, maintenance crews, and operations center staff all need to communicate instantly regardless of where they are or what device they carry. WAVE PTX Broadband Push-to-Talk bridges radios with smartphones, tablets, and computers—enabling instant voice communication across all these platforms on a single channel. For transit agencies managing large service areas with inconsistent radio coverage, WAVE PTX provides a cellular network backup that ensures communication continuity even when radio coverage is marginal.

Facility & Depot Security

Transit facilities—maintenance depots, administrative buildings, and passenger terminals—require comprehensive security to protect vehicles, equipment, staff, and the public. Avigilon AI-powered video security cameras provide 24/7 surveillance with intelligent analytics that detect intrusions, unusual activity, and unattended objects. Integrated access control systems manage credentials for maintenance staff, operators, administrative personnel, and contractors—ensuring that only authorized individuals can access sensitive areas of your facility. Day Wireless designs and installs complete security ecosystems for transit facilities of all sizes.
