Overview
Cubic Transportation Systems sponsored the California Transit Association's 54th annual Fall Conference & Expo in Monterey, November 13-16, 2019.
Together with other transportation industry leaders from California, they discussed the trends that are transforming public transit, innovations and pilot programs being conducted by transit agencies throughout the state and explored what is working and what is not.
We took on several roles during our time in Monterey. We spoke on the LA TAP App program in the Innovation Theater, showcased our market-leading technologies on the floor at the Expo, and supported our California customers at the Small Operators Awards Breakfast.
Getting You There. Smarter.
At Cubic, we believe our identity is intrinsically linked with our customers and the people our customers serve: how they get from one place to the next – how that impacts their lives, their fellow travelers and their cities – and how it feels along the way. That’s why we’re passionate about developing transportation solutions that improve the way we move throughout cities. Innovation is in our culture, and our history speaks for itself. In our 45- year history, we’ve delivered public transportation fare collection systems to over 450 operators, including 20 regional back-office systems, and traffic and transportation management systems for major cities and regions on four continents.
Stop by booth 506 at the Expo and let us show you how we can "Get You There, Smarter."
