TriMet is in the process of replacing our current radio system with a state of the art CAD/AVL system (computer aided dispatch/automatic vehicle locator). The radio replacement project is important because our current radio system is costly to maintain and is not compliant with federal regulations.
In the near future a small fleet of buses with the new CAD/AVL radio will be placed into revenue service to test the radio performance. This in-service test fleet will operate out of the Merlo garage.
The upgrade of the bus fleet and operator training on CAD/AVL will be completed this year.
(Federal regulations, the heart of the problem, and I am NOT a conservative)
