Enterprise Asset Management Software for Transit | Spare

From inspection to work order to road-ready—in one system.

Spare EAM connects drivers, technicians, and dispatch so issues get caught, repairs get done, and vehicles stay in service.

Trusted by leading transit fleets

Stay service-ready with smarter maintenance workflows

Most agencies are still tracking this in spreadsheets, Access databases, or paper forms. Spare EAM pulls live odometer, fuel, and battery data from your telematics system — automatically triggering maintenance alerts based on actual usage.

Built for the shop floor, not the back office

Spare EAM is built for the shop floor — clean interface, minimal steps, accessible from any mobile device. Technicians spend less time navigating software and more time fixing vehicles.

Automate the busywork: cut admin from hours to minutes

Re-entering data, scheduling preventive work, and preparing FTA/NTD reports eats up staff time. Spare automates it all—from bulk asset imports to audit-ready documentation. Technicians report saving 2+ hours of admin per day, giving them more time to focus on service.

Connect the garage to dispatch in real time

Legacy tools leave dispatch blind to vehicle status. With Spare, a flagged defect triggers a work order, notifies the technician, and updates dispatch— automatically. Vehicles are cleared faster, fewer trips are missed, and service reliability improves.

Stay audit-ready with FTA-compliant reporting

Manage vehicles, facilities, and equipment alongside your fleet — FTA TAM Plan compliance included. Ask Scout, Spare's AI copilot, a question and get an instant answer, no report to run or spreadsheet to build. Custom dashboards give each team exactly what they need, with no third-party dependencies.

An expert rollout, designed for transit operations

Work with a team that understands the complexity of public transit systems. We tailor your Spare EAM setup to your agency's workflows, managing integrations, data migration, and training to ensure your teams are equipped for success.

Spare EAM in Action

"Our mission is to serve our community with dependable transit. But our old asset management system was holding us back — manual processes and scattered information made it hard to keep up with the demands of a growing region. This is more than just new software — it's a leap forward for how we serve our riders."

—Ted Ross, Executive Director, GCTD

"Before Spare, I'd fill out forms by hand, and sometimes things got lost or entered wrong. Now, I can see the vehicle history right on my screen and update work orders on the spot. It makes my day a lot easier."

—Sean Jackson, Lead Mechanic, GCTD

"I love the fact that the EAM tool does not let them start the bus until they've done the pre and post trip inspections. It's not a step that can be skipped. It's streamlined and I appreciate that — you can't just get in a vehicle and go."

—Lacey Hernandez, Deputy Executive Director, GCTD
