Project

Overview

Spruce delivered a comprehensive WordPress-based website redesign for Norwalk Transit District in June 2021, with ongoing support continuing. The $120K project provides a fresh, relevant, and accessible platform that serves both riders and prospective riders with real-time bus tracking, integrated route planning, social media alerts, and online payment capabilities.

As a public transit agency, Norwalk Transit needed to serve diverse rider needs — from regular commuters requiring quick schedule information to new riders learning about available services. The platform had to meet federal accessibility requirements, integrate real-time bus data, support online payments, and be easy for transit staff to update independently.

Our

Strategy

adssdad

Spruce built a rider-first platform with real-time bus tracking, integrated payment processing, and social media alerts — delivering fresh, accessible transit information that connects riders with the service they need.



1. Real-Time Bus Tracking & Route Integration

Custom database dynamically populates bus routes and schedules based on user search criteria. Google Maps integration displays routes, stops, and schedules intuitively, while real-time bus tracking helps riders plan trips accurately and adjust to service changes.

2. Online Payments & Service Alerts

Stripe payment integration enables riders to purchase fares and passes online. Social media feeds deliver live service alerts for changes, delays, or emergencies, keeping the community informed in real time.

3. Accessibility & Multilingual Support

Full ADA/WCAG AA compliance and multilingual support ensure that all members of the Norwalk community — regardless of ability or language — can access essential transit information and services.
