PASADENA, Calif.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Jacobs Engineering Group Inc. (NYSE:JEC) announced today it received a five-year contract extension from the Western Australia Public Transport Authority (PTA) to provide support services for the Transperth Route Information System (TRIS). Transperth provides the Perth metropolitan region with bus, train and ferry public transport services.
Jacobs has provided support services for PTA’s TRIS for 15 years, including design, implementation and ongoing management.

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.”
