Public Transit Authority (Intranet)
Overview
- A branded header and hero banner welcome employees to the transit authority’s intranet.
- Active detours and route changes sit in cards right under the hero – closures, relocated stops, and new routes, each with its effective dates.
- Operator Bulletins publishes numbered bulletins on snow routes, detours, new equipment, and safe driving awards.
- The Service Scoreboard charts on-time performance by route, mean distance between road calls, fleet readiness, and days since the last preventable collision at each garage.
- The Operations Toolkit links to the operator rulebook, vehicle defect and incident reports, the absence call-in line, paratransit dispatch, safety gear orders, and drug and alcohol testing.
- A Find Tickets call to action and an operator training video sit side by side for quick access.
- Upcoming Events, Garages and Facilities tiles, and a Leadership section round out the page.
Benefits
- Detours before pull-out: Operators see detours and stop relocations before they pull out of the garage, not after a rider tells them.
- A searchable bulletin record: Bulletins replace paper postings on the garage board with a dated, searchable record every shift can find.
- Shared safety accountability: Safety and service numbers stay visible to every garage, building shared accountability for on-time runs and collision-free days.
- Forms in one tap: Frontline staff reach defect reports, incident forms, and the call-in line in one tap from a phone or a depot kiosk.
- Faster rollout of new equipment: New vehicles, equipment, and procedures are introduced with a short training video right on the homepage.
- A front door for every facility: Each garage, transit center, and training facility has a clear front door, and leadership stays visible to a workforce that rarely sits at a desk.
- Easy to maintain: Because it is built entirely out-of-the-box, the authority’s own staff can keep it current without developers.
Common Questions About This Public Transit Authority Intranet
What is this Public Transit Authority Intranet built with?
It is built entirely with standard SharePoint web parts like News, Events, Video, and Call to Action, plus a custom theme, custom fonts, and a branded header. There is no custom code and no third-party tools. It is the kind of clean, maintainable intranet Greg Zelfond builds for transit agencies and other public sector organizations.
What’s included on the Public Transit Authority Intranet?
The homepage opens with active detours and route changes under the hero banner, followed by Operator Bulletins and a Service Scoreboard with charts for on-time performance, road calls, fleet readiness, and preventable collisions. An Operations Toolkit links to rulebooks, defect and incident reports, and paratransit dispatch. The page also includes Find Tickets, an operator training video, upcoming events, garage and facility tiles, and a leadership section.
Does this design use any custom code or third-party tools?
No. Everything on this page uses features that come with SharePoint. Out-of-the-box designs are stable, secure, and easy to maintain, and nothing breaks when Microsoft releases updates. There are no add-ons to license or developers to call when something changes. Out-of-the-box is the only way Greg builds intranets, so the client’s own team can keep the site running for years.
Can this design be customized for our transit agency?
Absolutely. The branding, colors, fonts, and images all change to match your agency. The detour cards, bulletins, scoreboard charts, toolkit links, and facility tiles are rebuilt around your own routes, garages, and reporting. Greg adapts the layout to your mix of fixed-route bus, rail, paratransit, maintenance, and dispatch teams, so each group sees the tools and updates it actually uses.
Will this transit intranet work on mobile devices?
Yes. SharePoint pages adjust automatically to phones and tablets, which matters for a workforce made up of bus operators, mechanics, and field supervisors who rarely sit at a desk. Detours, bulletins, and toolkit links stack neatly on a small screen, and the same page works in the SharePoint mobile app and on a depot kiosk without any separate mobile version to maintain.
Can Greg build this intranet for our transit authority?
Yes – this is exactly the kind of work Greg Zelfond does. As an independent SharePoint consultant and Microsoft MVP, he designs and builds out-of-the-box intranets like this one for transit authorities, public agencies, and organizations of every size. He handles the layout, branding, and setup, then trains your team to maintain it. Reach out through the contact page to get started.
