Route Profile Report

The Route Profile report summarizes passenger count data for a route or several routes. The data is grouped into four time periods: AM Peak, MidDay Peak, PM Peak, and Off Peak.

This report allows you to analyze ridership trends throughout the day (that is, when transit service is at its highest or lowest demand). As a whole, these peak intervals make up a 24-hour period.

The following graphic shows the parameters of the report:
