Non-Profit Focus Bis-Man Transit operates as a small, grant-funded non-profit serving the Bismarck–Mandan–Lincoln area, making cost-effective technology upgrades attractive. There is ongoing emphasis on improving rider experience and operational efficiency through affordable, grant-compatible solutions that align with public transit funding programs.

Digital Rider Experience The agency already has a CAT bus tracking app and real-time maps; there is opportunity to upsell expanded mobile features, system integrations for fares and schedules, and managed hosting or support to ensure reliable service.

Small Team Needs With a lean team, Bis-Man Transit relies on external partners for IT, marketing, and operations. This creates a strong case for offering managed services, low-touch software solutions, user training resources, and scalable support contracts.

Intercity Partnerships The CAT system connects to broader North Dakota networks via the transit center, including Jefferson Lines; this enables potential for integrated ticketing, cross-carrier scheduling, and data sharing to streamline multi-modal travel experiences.

Signage Upgrades A recent grant to replace route signs signals openness to infrastructure upgrades; there are opportunities to provide digital signage, upgraded passenger information displays, AVL hardware refresh, and branding/wayfinding improvements tied to real-time data.
