NTD Reporting Made Easy: How CleverInsights Streamlines S10 Reports

The Annual Challenge: NTD Reporting 

For transit agencies, preparing National Transit Database (NTD) reports, especially the S10 form, can feel like a marathon of spreadsheets, manual calculations, and data hunting. The process often takes days or even weeks, pulling staff away from other critical tasks. 

The S10 form requires detailed data on: 

• Maximum service vehicles  

• Period of service 

• Service supplied  

• Service consumed (UPT, PMT) 

• Service operated days 

Traditionally, agencies gather this data from multiple sources, clean it, and aggregate it manually. It’s time-consuming and prone to errors. 

How CleverInsights Simplifies NTD Reporting 

CleverInsights was designed to make NTD compliance effortless. Here’s how it works: 

1. Automated Data Capture

The platform ingests APC data, schedule information, and operational updates, then applies transit-specific rules to clean and validate the data. No more manual data wrangling. 

2. Pre-Filled S10 Forms

Instead of building spreadsheets from scratch, CleverInsights generates a ready-to-export S10 form with: 

• Vehicle counts (VOMS/VAMS) 

• Service periods 

• Revenue and non-revenue miles/hours 

• Boardings (UPT) and passenger miles traveled (PMT) 

• Export for Direct Upload

The exported file matches the NTD import format, so agencies can upload it directly to the NTD website—no reformatting required. 

Benefits for Transit Agencies 

• Save Time: Reduce reporting prep from days to minutes.
• Improve Accuracy: Automated calculations minimize human error. 
• Stay Compliant: Built-in NTD classifications ensure reports meet federal standards. 

Beyond S10: More NTD Tools 

CleverInsights also supports: 

• Ridership by Route Reports for MR20 forms 
• Day-of-Week Filters for detailed breakdowns 
• Historical Data Access for multi-year reporting 

Why It Matters
