Scheduling services
Too few schedulers. Too much pressure. Transit agencies struggle to adapt, risking delays and higher costs.
Outsourcing services
Transit organizations worldwide face growing challenges: staff turnover, overload, and a shrinking pool of innovative scheduling professionals. This shortage increases financial risk and limits the ability to adjust schedules, respond to operational changes, or meet strategic goals — all while pressure from passengers, drivers, and officials keeps rising.
Common scenarios we help solve
- Network redesign: Drafting new schedules while maintaining existing ones adds strain to your team.
- Departures & leave: Unexpected exits or parental leave are hard to fill due to the limited scheduler talent pool.
- Hiring & training: Onboarding diverts your top talent away from production work.
- HASTUS upgrades: Software transitions consume resources, leaving little time for daily operations.
- Feeding IT systems: Agencies without dedicated scheduling software struggle to feed CAD/AVL, Google Transit, and daily ops systems. Treelight fills that gap with both skilled staff and HASTUS software.
