Clever Devices Awarded Landmark Contract for Los Angeles Metro’s ATMS II Program

Woodbury, NY — November 5, 2025 — Clever Devices is proud to announce it has been awarded the contract for the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority’s (LA Metro) Advanced Transportation Management System II (ATMS II) Program. This contract marks a significant milestone in Clever Devices’ continued commitment to delivering cutting-edge transit technology solutions that power North America’s premier transit systems.

LA Metro operates one of the largest and most complex public transportation systems in North America, serving over 311 million annual riders across a network spanning 1,447 square miles, with 118 bus routes, six rail lines, and 107 stations. Through the ATMS II project, Clever Devices technology will be implemented on more than 2,400 buses across 12 depots and 500 rail cars between six rail yards.

The ATMS II Program will modernize LA Metro’s Computer-Aided Dispatch and Automatic Vehicle Location (CAD/AVL) systems across its expansive fleet, enhancing real-time operational efficiency, safety, and rider experience without sacrificing the familiar integrations and interfaces that users rely on.

For the first time, LA Metro will implement CAD/AVL technology across both its bus and rail fleets, along with a new state-of-the-art yard management system, positioning Los Angeles as a global leader in intelligent transit infrastructure.

“As LA Metro continues to experience significant growth, investment, and increased ridership, it was paramount that we select a technology provider capable of delivering a state-of-the-art solution that prioritizes the needs of the people of Los Angeles,” said Conan Cheung, Chief Operations Officer of LA Metro. “This partnership with Clever Devices introduces powerful new capabilities such as real-time disruption management and integrated communications that will improve our operational processes, enhance service reliability, and elevate the overall rider experience. With the 2028 Olympic Games on the horizon, these advancements will ensure LA Metro is prepared to meet the demands of a global audience while continuing to deliver exceptional service to our local communities.”

As part of the project scope, Clever Devices will deploy a comprehensive suite of cloud-hosted solutions (including CleverCAD, LMR and VoIP, Disruption Management, Real-Time Passenger Information and Reporting solutions) that will replace the previous ATMS I system, which was initially installed in 2004. The ATMS II project will bring new and enhanced functionality to operations at LA Metro as well as greater reliability for critical communications.

In addition, the contract includes future options for expanding the system to include support for Yard Management, Electric Vehicles, Rail Onboard Systems, Onboard Digital Signage, and camera system upgrades.

As the City of Los Angeles prepares to welcome the world for the 2028 Olympic Games, LA Metro’s investment in advanced transit management technology will be pivotal in delivering safe, efficient, and seamless mobility for millions of residents and international visitors.

“This historic partnership with LA Metro is a testament to our team’s dedication to innovation and excellence in transit technology,” said Frank Ingrassia, CEO of Clever Devices. “We are honored to support their vision for a smarter, safer, and more connected transportation future.”
