bus stop maintenance, customer feedback, lost/seized property, land
management, asset management and much more.
Commenting on the announcement, Jacobs Senior Vice President Buildings
and Infrastructure Patrick Hill said, “This award is a testament to the
consistently strong performance of our team. Our people are embedded
within the Transperth offices to work seamlessly with the PTA TRIS team
and deliver value and greater efficiency.
“This integrated approach has helped enable TRIS to deliver significant
cost savings for Transperth. With our support, PTA is redirecting these
costs savings into further development and enhancement of the TRIS
system, which ultimately benefits Perth commuters.”
