From national conventions to global sporting events, transit agencies rely on Clever Devices' proven technology to keep cities moving when the stakes are highest.
When it comes to the technology that powers large‑scale events, you could say this isn’t our first rodeo. Parades, sporting events, concerts, and conventions all bring massive crowds, dynamic operating environments, and rising expectations for real‑time information. Our technology empowers transit agencies to deliver seamless, reliable service—no matter how complex the event or how large the audience.
When the city of New Orleans welcomed over 100k visitors – and Kendrick Lamar – to the Big Easy for Super Bowl LIX, public transit was crucial to letting the good times roll. From their historic streetcars to critical bus service, NORTA and Clever Devices teams leveraged solutions like CleverVision for real-time passenger updates, as well as Disruption Management and Incident Management to help them quickly adapt to any unexpected changes and keep services running smoothly.
In Chicago, the Democratic National Convention required transit to adapt quickly to closures, detours, and intensified security zones. Clever Devices supported the Chicago Transit Authority (CTA) by enabling dynamic route adjustments and ensuring that both operators and riders received up‑to‑the‑minute information. Mobile apps, Transit Center displays, and automated announcements kept the public informed while operators navigated the evolving event footprint.
During the 2024 RNC, Milwaukee County Transit System (MCTS) relied on our technology to navigate an influx of visitors and extensive security-related street closures. MCTS rerouted 14 bus routes using Disruption Management, ensuring operators had clear, updated guidance while riders stayed informed through BusTime real‑time arrival predictions and automated onboard announcements. This helped maintain seamless mobility across a city operating under heightened constraints.
Detroit welcomed nearly a million visitors during the 2024 three‑day NFL Draft, and SMART turned to our Disruption Management tools to meet the surge. The agency added two new routes and nearly 30 extra shuttles, all of which were clearly visible to riders in real time. This operational flexibility reduced congestion and made it easy for both locals and newcomers to confidently reach event venues and attractions.
For one of the biggest nights in sports, Phoenix’s Valley Metro expanded service with dedicated shuttles and increased frequency on key routes. These services were fully integrated into the real‑time passenger information system, allowing fans to track vehicles and make informed travel decisions. The result was a smooth, coordinated transit operation that kept fans moving efficiently before and after the main event.
The 2022 FIFA World Cup required an unprecedented level of transit coordination across five stadiums and multiple depots for a full 28 days. We supported the operation of nearly 1,000 electric buses by helping planners define service, assign operators, and maintain visibility across a massive fleet. Our technology ensured reliable, round‑the‑clock mobility for visitors attending one of the world’s largest global sporting tournaments.
The 2018 Warriors Victory Parade drew more than a million attendees to downtown Oakland, CA, creating significant operational pressure on the transit network. Our solutions, like Celrado, enabled seamless communication between dispatchers, operators, and road supervisors, ensuring that vehicles, staff, and routes remained coordinated throughout the celebration. As a result, AC Transit was able to deliver consistent service in a highly congested and rapidly shifting environment.
Transit agencies face a unique combination of pressures during high‑visibility events, including ridership surges, street closures, shifting security perimeters, and unpredictable travel patterns, all while operating under intense public scrutiny and delivering safe, efficient, easy-to-use service to both locals and visitors to their transit system.
