Here’s what you need to know to stay compliant and optimize your data collection.    𝘞𝘩𝘺 𝘪𝘴 𝘈𝘗𝘊 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘐𝘮𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘵? 🤔   APC systems are essential for tracking ridership and ensuring that transit agencies have accurate data for operational planning, funding allocation, and compliance with federal regulations. Recertification in 2025 will verify that your APC systems continue to meet the rigorous standards set by the Federal Transit Administration (FTA) so that you can continue to utilize grant and other federal funding.    𝘒𝘦𝘺 𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘱𝘴 𝘵𝘰 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘱𝘢𝘳𝘦 𝘧𝘰𝘳 𝘙𝘦𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘪𝘤𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 📈:  1.
