Transportation and Tolling
Transforming operations and technology to drive vision and innovation
Overview
Balancing the transportation equation with budget and safety measures
Value and safety are key priorities for any transportation, tolling, or transit agency. Challenges like increased traffic, rising maintenance costs, and a variety of new technologies have the potential to snarl efforts to keep citizens moving and protected throughout the country. CAI’s transportation and tolling technology services are finely tuned to help break the gridlock of limiting legacy solutions and requirements for single-source support. Our multi-point inspection evaluates systems and solutions to accelerate digital transformation for transportation and tolling authorities with unbiased expertise and IT operations capabilities.

Transportation and tolling strategy and consulting
Shift the operating model to modernize your operations
Operational inefficiency, legacy systems, over-engineered solutions, limited data collection, and outdated processes can throttle an authority’s ability to meet escalating constituent and stakeholder demands. Shift into a new gear with CAI’s blend of experience, IT process knowledge, and field expertise. Leading-edge technology evolves operating models with optimized solutions, services, and a continuous improvement approach to speed digital transformation and achieve better outcomes.
Strategy development
Elevate from day-to-day operations to map a strategic direction and vision that meets expectations for digital transformation today and the demand for tomorrow. CAI partners with transportation and tolling clients to pilot your path with leading-edge technology and resources.
The legacy systems journey
Legacy systems support critical processes, but with outdated technologies and high maintenance costs your organization could be on its last lap without an effective modernization strategy. CAI helps clients to capitalize on digital transformation opportunities while reducing support costs.
Strategic program management
Capital and operational planning require functional oversight to monitor and make headway with strategy implementation. CAI helps clients develop an enterprise strategy, set priorities, and establish project management offices to transform goals into action.

Accelerate strategy and transform operational models to drive innovation
Translating organizational strategy into action requires a broad range of capabilities and a mindset of continuous improvement. The operational pivot to enable new technology, modernize legacy systems, and implement field services can be constrained by historic decisions and limited by single-provider perspectives. From back office to field operations, the CAI methodology is technology-agnostic and drives predictable, continuous improvement to streamline processes and implement end-to-end change, beginning with the end goal in mind.
Field operations
Transportation and tolling organizations serve wide geographies that rely on urban, rural, rail, and mass transit operations. CAI provides the expertise to integrate transportation-specific technologies, tolling systems, passenger-fare collection solutions, and more.
Technology integration
Emerging technologies and new solutions like plate readers, facial recognition, and artificial intelligence streamline how constituents interface with traffic management. CAI partners with agencies to develop rollout plans and operational strategies to realize the benefits of innovation.
IT operations
Layering new technology on an inefficient operational model only creates chaos and confusion. CAI partners with you to streamline and support the shift from maintenance to innovation with a continuous improvement process.

Efficiency and innovation to shift the gears of your digital transformation
Leveraging leading-edge technologies without neglecting existing business systems is a delicate balance. Modern, cloud-hosted mobile and web systems, traffic management solutions driven by artificial intelligence and all-electronic tolling are expected by constituents as they navigate transportation systems. The challenge is keeping existing business-critical systems running to support day-to-day operations while weaving new technology into your tech stack. Our experts help agencies rebalance their budget, free critical staff to innovate, modernize legacy systems, and streamline day-to-day operations to negotiate every turn in the modernization process.
Streamlining for operational effectiveness
The retention of outdated steps and requirements as processes evolve leads to decreased efficiency and increased complexity. CAI helps agencies identify and reduce this waste, streamline processes, and free staff to focus on higher-value initiatives.
Modernizing legacy systems
Solutions built years ago are costly to maintain, with knowledge and experience retiring at a record pace. Our teams work with agencies to strike a balance, supporting legacy systems effectively while freeing up the capacity to modernize.
Eliminating manual process
Manual processes are the glue connecting systems required to process data, but they are also expensive and time-consuming. CAI's expertise in artificial intelligence and automation can help you shift resources to higher-value operations while improving quality and accuracy.
Success Story
Reducing state transportation construction delays and costs
CAI helps a state Department of Transportation streamline and automate their workflows to improve end-user experience.
