About Garages
The Garages screen allows you to record and geocode a garage address on the map.
A garage is the first location that a vehicle pulls out from at the beginning of the day and the last location that it pulls in to at the end of the day. Make sure that the garage information is correct and that the address is geocoded properly. Accurate geocoding is important because the Schedule Server takes into account the location, that it the garage, a vehicle pulls out from and pulls in to when calculating the distance and time that must be spent traveling between locations.
There are a few reasons why multiple garages might be listed in the Garages screen:
- A garage may be owned and operated by a specific provider and house only vehicles associated with that provider.
- Fixed Route or FLEX Route garages are recorded in the Garages screen alongside paratransit garages. It is not uncommon for paratransit and FLEX services to share the same garages and vehicles.
