TransLoc supplies an automatic passenger counting solution together with the supporting onboard hardware, designed to integrate with its own CAD/AVL platform and reporting dashboards. Counts are reported at 98–99% accuracy, meeting the FTA's 95% confidence and precision standard for National Transit Database reporting, and TransLoc also supports agencies through NTD certification. The units use polygon-based bi-directional counting to avoid double-counting, compensate automatically for sliding or swinging doors, and allow remote diagnostics without site visits. TransLoc's heritage is campus and shuttle transit, which is still reflected in its customer base.

myAvail is a cloud-based Enterprise Transit Management Solution combining CAD/AVL, real-time passenger information, onboard vehicle hardware and the myStop rider app under a single login. Automatic passenger counting is one module alongside ADA announcements, fare collection and vehicle health monitoring, consolidated through one onboard data router. Avail installs APC sensors for agencies rather than manufacturing them; iris is a named partner. The company is employee-owned and headquartered in State College, Pennsylvania, and targets small and mid-sized agencies.

Connexionz supplies automatic passenger counting as part of its wider CAD/AVL and passenger information platform for small and mid-sized agencies. Counting uses the iris IRMA MATRIX lidar sensor under a partnership, delivering 98%+ accuracy and distinguishing adults, children, closely spaced riders, wheelchairs, bicycles and strollers. Counts reach agencies through the Connexionz Business Intelligence application, which produces ridership, on-time performance and NTD reporting. Where formal NTD certification is required, Connexionz works with Urban Transportation Associates, which also appears separately in this landscape.
