The Technology Powering Los Angeles Transportation
Background
Metro Rail is an urban rail system serving Los Angeles County, California. It consists of six lines, including two rapid transit subway lines and four light rail lines serving 80 stations. It connects with the Metro Liner bus rapid transit system and also with the Metrolink Commuter rail system. With 29M active riders each month who rely heavily on the technology provided by Metro, we look forward to creating more powerful solutions to support Metro riders.
Developing New Features + Managing the Infrastructure for LA Metro
Our Partnership
To protect its web entities from future potential hazard, LA's very own Metro asked Zehner to perform a massive server migration of its web properties to the cloud. Through the use of DevOps, continuous integration and automated deployment scripts, a modern enterprise level system was created. Our team also built Metro's trip planner platform, which included information about arrivals, alerts, maps, and schedules. This platform allows users to easily plan a trip from their door to their final destination.
Today, Zehner supports the zero downtime, highly-trafficked transportation infrastructure, as well as the codebase and technology platform, Metro.net. We look forward to creating more powerful technology tools to support the 39M monthly Metro riders.

We Execute on Time
Time as we all know is limited. It is also a direct factor in project budget. With that in mind, we optimize time in ideation, design and development. By implementing AGILE methodology, the team and client can make strategic budget, time and scope decisions quickly.
