Xa uphuma emnyango ekuseni, mhlawumbi awucingi ngenani lemibutho esebenza kunye ukuze isebenze, igcine, kwaye ijonge iinkqubo zothutho ozisebenzisayo ukuya emsebenzini, esikolweni, nakwezinye iindawo. Nangona kunjalo, ulindele ukufika ngokukhuselekileyo nangexesha.
Ngoncedo lwemali nobugcisa, iSebe lezoThutho laseMelika (DOT) linceda ukugcina iinkqubo zethu zothutho zihamba ngokukhuselekileyo nangempumelelo. Ngaphakathi kwe-DOT, sihlala sijonge iindlela zokwabelana ngolwazi kumashishini kunye nemibutho-kwaye senza uqhagamshelwano olutsha lokhuseleko phakathi kweenqwelomoya kunye noololiwe.
I-Federal Transit Administration (FTA) kunye ne-Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) zisebenzisana ekusebenziseni iNkqubo yoLawulo loKhuseleko (SMS) kuzo zonke iiprojekthi zexesha elizayo ze-FTA. I-SMS isisiseko seNkqubo yoKhuseleko ye-FTA kwaye yakhela kwiindlela ezikhoyo zokhuseleko lokuhamba ngokusebenzisa idatha ukuchonga, ukuphepha, kunye nokunciphisa imingcipheko kukhuseleko.
I-SMS ibonakalise ukuba isebenza kakuhle kwamanye amashishini, kodwa yingcinga entsha kuhambo. I-FTA yaqaphela kwangethuba kwinkqubo yokwamkelwa kweSMS ukuba ukuze sibe nempumelelo, siya kusebenzisa intabalala yamabali empumelelo eSMS, ezona ndlela zibalaseleyo zokuziphatha, kunye nezifundo ezifundwe kwamanye amashishini—njengokuhamba ngenqwelomoya.
Impumelelo yoshishino lwezophapho ekusebenziseni iSMS ukuphucula ukhuseleko inike inkuthazo eyongezelelekileyo kwiFTA ukuba yamkele le nkqubo. Ngoku, njengoko i-FTA ikhokela ukwamkelwa kweSMS kwishishini lezothutho, amava oogxa bethu beenqwelomoya abonelela ngemodeli yokuzisa izibonelelo zeSMS-kubandakanywa nokusebenza okuphuculweyo kokhuseleko, ukuhambelana okukhulu ekuchongeni iingozi kunye nokuvavanya umngcipheko wokhuseleko, kunye nenkcubeko yokhuseleko oluqinisiweyo ii-arhente zohambo.
Kwezi nyanga zidlulileyo, i-FTA ibiqhuba inkqubo yokulinga ukuphunyezwa kwe-SMS kunye neChicago Transit Authority (CTA), kwaye ekupheleni kukaSeptemba iqalise inkqubo yokulinga ibhasi kunye noLawulo lwezoThutho lwaseMaryland esebenza noCharles, iMontgomery kunye nebhasi kaFrederick County. ii-arhente, ezimele ababoneleli ngezothutho abancinci, abakhulu nabasemaphandleni.
Ngezi nkqubo zolingo, i-FTA ibonelela ngoncedo lobugcisa kwii-arhente zothutho ekuphuhliseni nasekusebenziseni i-SMS, ngelixa ii-arhente zezothutho zibonelela ngamathuba e-FTA ukuvavanya ukusebenza kwezixhobo zokuphunyezwa kwe-SMS kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zokusebenza kwezothutho.
NgeyeSilimela yowama-2016, i-FTA iqalise eyokuqala kuthotho lweentlanganiso phakathi kwe-CTA ne-United Airlines njengenxalenye yenkqubo yokulingwa yokuphunyezwa kwe-SMS. I-United Airlines, ekunye ne-United Express isebenza ngaphezu kwe-4,500 yeenqwelo moya ngosuku ukuya kwizikhululo zeenqwelomoya ezingama-339 kumazwekazi amahlanu, ibonelele ngeCTA ngokufutshane kunye nemiboniso malunga nendlela yokuphuhlisa nokusebenza kweSMS esebenzayo.
Iintlanganiso kunye ne-United Airlines ziye zanceda i-CTA ukuba yenze inkqubela phambili ekubeni yinkokeli yoshishino kwi-SMS. Ngenxa yale ntsebenziswano, i-FTA iphuhlisa kwaye ivavanya amaxwebhu esikhokelo ukubonelela ngoncedo lobugcisa kwii-arhente ezahlukeneyo zothutho. Ukongeza, i-FTA iphuhlisa imimiselo kwaye idala izixhobo zokufikelela kunye noqeqesho malunga nendlela yokuphumeza ngempumelelo i-SMS, ngokusekelwe kumsebenzi owenziwa kwi-CTA nakwii-arhente zebhasi ezintathu ezincinci ukuya eziphakathi.
Inkqubo yokulingwa ye-SMS yohambo ngumzekelo omhle wendlela izisombululo ezitsha ezisetyenziswa lishishini elinye zinokuhlengahlengiswa ukuze zilungele iimfuno zelinye isiphumo esifanayo: uthutho olukhuselekileyo loluntu lwaseMelika. Ngelixa izithuthi zikawonke-wonke ziseyeyona ndlela ikhuselekileyo yezothutho ezisezantsi, inkqubo yokulinga yeSMS ye-FTA inceda ukwenza uhambo lukhuseleke nangakumbi.
Ndinombulelo ngenkxaso kunye nentsebenziswano oogxa bethu be-FAA kunye ne-United Airlines abathe banikela ngayo kulo mzamo kunye nokuzinikela kwabo okuqhubekayo kukhuseleko. Ukusebenzisana, ii-arhente zethu ze-DOT ziya kuqhubeka zisebenza njengeqela lokuphucula ukhuseleko loshishino lwezothutho ngokubanzi.
