Solutions built by you!


Collaborative Knowledge

In 2019, we embarked on a collaborative journey with local transit authorities to modernize driver training for the 21st century. Together, we crafted a comprehensive driver training curriculum covering bus knowledge, driving techniques, and real-life scenarios. By prioritizing feedback from transit training staff, we tailored our solutions to meet needs like "simulator compactness", "easy hardware upgradability", and "hassle-free software updates", all aimed at attracting new drivers, increasing pass rates, enhancing road safety, and improving driving skills for all demographics, languages, and proficiency levels.

​

Multiple Devices for easy learning

We leverage a range of devices, from phones and computers to driving simulators and virtual reality, ensuring accessible, flexible learning anytime, anywhere, on any device. This approach makes learning enjoyable, engaging, and effective.

 

Amazing Results

Following the rollout of our initial training program, Pierce Transit achieved a groundbreaking 100% Pre-Trip pass rate. Since then, we've continued to refine our software and hardware based on valuable input from our clients and their trainees, ensuring ongoing improvement and innovation for current and future members of our driving community.

​



Take Home Training
 

Learning never stops. Our multi-device training apps give your trainees the ability to learn and test from home or anywhere.

​

Learn every button and switch in the driver cab, understand the mechanics of the engine, and test your knowledge - all from the convenience of your phone, tablet, computer, or VR headset.

​

​



Pre-Trip CDL
 

Experience a dynamic and immersive approach to pre-trip inspection training with our Mobile and Virtual Reality programs.

​

Trainees can effectively learn, practice, and self-test all the essential pre-trip inspection objectives necessary for success in their state exams.

The Knowledge
 

Mastering vehicle operation begins with understanding its components and we bring the virtual driver cab to you.

 

KNOWLEDGE training covers fundamental aspects, such as the functions of individual controls (e.g., this button activates that feature). Subsequent learning delves into more intricate systems and procedures, providing insight into broader concepts (e.g., interactions with the air compressor) essential for a comprehensive understanding.

​



Core Driving Skills
 

DoT offers an extensive library of simulated driving experiences designed to teach how to maneuver a bus safely through various challenging scenarios.

​

We can provide the hardware and the software.

​

Zones
 

Our continually growing library of zones encompasses all essential location-specific situations, problems, and scenarios that your drivers may encounter.

​

With advanced settings and our AI engine, you can fine-tune the complexity, guaranteeing a unique drive every time.

​

​



Situations & Scenarios
 

Situational awareness training provides trainees with unlimited practice opportunities until they achieve confidence.

​

Our scenarios recreate real-world setups, ensuring your drivers are fully prepared.

​

​

New Routes
 

Practice the nuances of new and/or particular routes from the safety and security of the learning center.

​

Custom routes can be created and experienced through computer screens, iPads, and for the most immersion, VR headsets.

​

​



Simulators
 

We can work with you to provide fully integrated custom hardware, including your bus-specific needs like steering wheels, custom floor buttons, hydraulic seats, and more.

​

It's convenient, flexible, and easily upgradable.
