"Before Bus CMMS, our bus inventory was tracked on spreadsheets and driver certifications were managed with paper files. Now we have complete visibility into every bus in our fleet from the Bus Inventory dashboard, and the Driver & Team Management module automatically alerts us before CDL or medical cards expire. The Bus Overview reporting feature helped us secure a federal infrastructure grant by demonstrating our operational efficiency—we can pull detailed cost-per-mile data for any bus over any date range. Service disruptions have dropped by 78%, and our riders notice the difference."
Patricia Gonzalez
Director of Transit Operations, Lakeside Metro TransitSee why public transit authorities choose Bus CMMS for their passenger fleets
"Our fleet of 180 buses serves 35,000 daily passengers. The Bus Inventory feature transformed how we manage our fleet—we can see every bus's status, location, and mileage at a glance. The Inspection module catches issues before they become problems, and the Driver & Team Management tracks all 145 operator certifications automatically."
Robert Henderson
Fleet Manager, Coastal City Transit"The Bus Overview reporting feature is invaluable for our FTA audits and NTD reporting. We can pull comprehensive reports for any bus showing maintenance history, fuel consumption, and costs over any date range. Our disabled riders get consistent, reliable service because the ADA equipment tracking ensures every wheelchair ramp is certified."
Janet Williams
Compliance Director, Valley Regional Transit"We reduced maintenance costs by 42% in the first year. The Fuel Management module helped us identify underperforming buses, and the Tire Inventory tracking reduced our tire expenses significantly. The Excel Report export makes grant applications so much easier—we can demonstrate exactly how every dollar is spent."

General Manager, Metro Area TransitEverything you need to know about managing your transit fleet with Bus CMMS
Public transportation bus CMMS (Computerized Maintenance Management System) software is a specialized fleet management solution designed for transit authorities and mass transit systems. Bus CMMS includes comprehensive modules for Bus Inventory management (tracking all vehicles with status, mileage, and location), Driver & Team Management (operator profiles, CDL tracking, certification alerts), Inspection (digital DVIRs with ADA equipment verification), Bus Maintenance (preventive maintenance scheduling and work orders), Fuel Management (consumption and cost tracking), Tire Inventory, Document storage, and Calendar integration—all accessible from a centralized dashboard with multi-site support and Excel report export capabilities.
The Bus Inventory module allows you to add individual buses or bulk upload your entire fleet. Each bus record includes bus number, category, bus name/route assignment, location (depot/garage), model year, mileage tracking (miles or kilometers), and real-time availability status (Available, In Service, In Maintenance). You can view your fleet in a searchable list format or use the Map View for geographic visualization of fleet distribution. Action buttons let you quickly edit bus details, assign operators, or schedule maintenance. The Sites dropdown at the top lets you filter by garage location.
The Driver & Team Management module provides complete operator tracking including driver profiles with employment history, CDL status and expiration dates, medical card tracking, P endorsement verification, route assignments, and years of experience. The system sends automated alerts 30, 60, and 90 days before certifications expire, ensuring you never have operators with lapsed credentials. You can organize drivers into teams by garage, route, or shift, track training completions, and maintain records required for FTA drug and alcohol testing compliance. The dashboard shows total operators, fully certified count, and renewals due at a glance.
The Bus Overview feature under the Buses menu allows you to select any bus from your fleet and generate comprehensive reports over custom date ranges. Simply search for the bus, set your start and end dates, and click View to see complete maintenance history, inspection records, fuel consumption data, mileage logs, and associated costs for that period. This is invaluable for budget analysis, grant applications, NTD (National Transit Database) reporting, board presentations, and FTA triennial reviews. Reports can be exported to Excel for further analysis or distribution to stakeholders.
Yes! Bus CMMS includes iOS and Android mobile apps specifically designed for transit operators. The Inspection module allows operators to complete digital DVIRs (Driver Vehicle Inspection Reports) before pull-out and after pull-in using customizable checklists covering brakes, lights, HVAC, fare collection equipment, wheelchair ramps/lifts, kneeling systems, securement devices, PA systems, stop request signals, and all passenger safety equipment. Photos can be attached to document defects with precise descriptions. The app works offline in bus yards with limited connectivity and syncs automatically when connection is restored, creating instant alerts to maintenance staff.
Bus CMMS provides comprehensive ADA equipment tracking for all accessibility features including wheelchair lifts, ramps, kneeling systems, securement devices, priority seating, and audio/visual announcement systems. The Bus Maintenance module tracks certification dates, inspection schedules, and maintenance history for every ADA component. Automated alerts notify maintenance staff when lift certifications or ramp inspections are due. The Inspection module includes ADA equipment verification in pre-trip DVIRs, and the Bus Overview reports document accessibility equipment status for FTA civil rights reviews and ADA compliance audits.
Yes! Bus CMMS supports unlimited site locations for transit systems with multiple maintenance garages, transit hubs, or satellite facilities. The Sites dropdown at the top of the portal lets you filter the entire system by location—view all buses, drivers, and maintenance activities system-wide or filter to a specific garage. Assign buses and operators to specific locations, track parts inventory across facilities, coordinate vehicle transfers between garages for maintenance or service needs, and generate consolidated or site-specific reports for operational analysis. Each site can have designated supervisors with appropriate access permissions.
The Excel Report feature allows you to export comprehensive data for National Transit Database (NTD) reporting, FTA triennial reviews, state DOT audits, and federal grant applications. Generate reports showing maintenance costs per bus, per route, or per mile; fuel consumption and efficiency metrics; operator certification status and training records; ADA equipment certification history; Mean Distance Between Failures (MDBF); fleet availability rates; and cost per revenue hour. The Bus Overview module provides vehicle-specific reports with complete audit trails, and all data can be exported in formats suitable for 5307, 5310, and 5339 grant documentation.
Yes, Bus CMMS is built with enterprise-grade security appropriate for public transit agencies. Features include role-based access control (operators see only their assigned vehicles, mechanics see their work orders, supervisors see their garage, administrators see system-wide), encrypted data storage and transmission, multi-factor authentication, session timeout settings, password complexity requirements, and complete audit trails of all user actions. The system supports multiple subscription levels and can be configured to meet specific transit authority IT security policies. Data is backed up daily with disaster recovery capabilities, and the platform is hosted on SOC 2 compliant infrastructure.
Join 300+ transit systems using Bus CMMS to manage their bus inventory, track driver certifications, ensure ADA compliance, and provide safe, reliable public transportation to millions of passengers.
