Represents the ITS equipment, such as mobile data terminals and AVL equipment, in the SORTA fixed–route transit buses. Note that SORTA's goal is to procure enough automated passenger counters (APCs) to cover the entire fleet which will allow them to monitor 100% of the trips that go out on runs each day. The data will be used to determine which routes are meeting board approved standards and which ones do not. As of the beginning of 2016, only 60 buses are equipped with APCs.
