Accurate & Informed


Formerly known as Section 15, the National Transit Database (NTD) contractor may be considered by some as the "number crunchers." Either way, the NTD is an integral part of the Federal reporting process. The NTD collects data to provide information for assistance with local solutions, national concerns, and in determining your agency's future Federal funding appropriations.

The Project Managers at Transit Capital have experience in the reporting of Federal transit data since 1988.  We are fully equipped to perform database calculations of sample data in determining the passenger mile requirement.  (However, for agencies without Automatic Passenger Counters (APC), Transit Capital is not a statistical data collection contractor and would not perform actual on-board statistical passenger load counts for NTD reporting purposes.)
