As transit agencies across the country commit to rolling out zero-emission fleets, the need for clear, actionable insights into fleet performance has never been greater. That's where CTE’s Key Performance Indicator (KPI) dashboard platform comes in. By combining automated API feeds with the flexibility to incorporate custom, tailored data inputs, we give agency staff, city officials, and community stakeholders a single pane of glass to track progress, spot trends, and make smarter decisions—every day.
Bringing All Your Data Together
Traditionally, performance metrics live in silos: vehicle telematics in one system, maintenance logs in another, and utilization data stuck in spreadsheets. CTE’s dashboards automatically pull in vehicle status via secure APIs, while also providing simple interfaces to navigate one's own data and draw insights. No more hunting through multiple systems or wrestling with messy CSVs. Now, everything lives in one intuitive interface.
From Raw Numbers to Real-World Impact
With all data unified and visualized, agencies can instantly see where efficiency is climbing and where extra attention is needed. For example, fleet utilization charts highlight underused vehicles, helping operations managers reallocate resources and reduce idle time. Energy consumption trends can reveal charging station bottlenecks before they become costly delays. And with everything from fleet availability to energy efficiency metrics on one dashboard, teams can adjust operations as demand patterns shift.
Empowering Stakeholders
Data transparency isn't just for internal teams — it helps tell your story. City councils, grant-funding bodies, and community advocates all benefit from clear visualizations that tell the story of progress. Whether you're reporting quarterly to your board, communicating fleet emissions savings to the city or regional sustainability office, or answering questions about service reliability, CTE dashboards provide polished, shareable snapshots that inspire confidence and drive accountability.
Ready to Get Started?
Transitioning to a zero-emission fleet is as much about culture and process as it is about vehicles and chargers. A robust KPI dashboard helps build both: it fosters a data-driven mindset, elevates collaboration, and keeps everyone focused on tangible outcomes.
