Derbyshire County Council has invested in the Route Manager module from Causeway one.network to transform how it collaborates with bus operators and neighbouring authorities, building on its existing use of the platform and the successes of nearby councils.
Derbyshire County Council manages over 3,000 miles of roads across a diverse landscape that includes the Peak District, busy market towns and growing urban centres. Like many authorities, the council faces an ongoing challenge: how to better coordinate with operators when roadworks and diversions affect bus routes.
Already familiar with Causeway one.network, the council saw Route Manager as a natural next step. The module enables passenger transport teams to share real-time information with operators, automatically detect clashes between works and routes, and provides a single, trusted view of changes as they happen.
“Derbyshire has seen the many benefits that deploying Route Manager has brought to a nearby local authority, and for them, it was all about improving collaboration and coordination between the authority and a multitude of bus operators.
By building a collective confidence in the results and improvements that Route Manager has already brought, the authority and its bus operators are continuing to work with Causeway to further refine Route Manager in the knowledge that the evolution of the software over time will deliver even more efficiencies.”
– David Grossé, Business Development Manager, Causeway Technologies
With onboarding now underway, Derbyshire’s transport teams will work closely with Causeway to implement Route Manager into everyday workflows.
The immediate focus is:
- Set up collaboration with local bus operators to share information
- Train internal teams to use Route Manager with confidence
- Establish foundations for long-term improvements in service reliability
By adopting Route Manager, Derbyshire is set to deliver smoother journeys, reduced disruption and strengthened collaboration across its transport network. This step also reflects a wider shift amongst forward-thinking councils embracing digital tools to keep journeys smooth for residents, operators and all road users alike.
