By partnering with Transit, PSTA is building upon existing public schedule information to create a seamless experience for transit riders in Pinellas County. The endorsement comes at no cost to the agency.
“There are multiple trip-planning apps on the market right now, but what makes Transit the official app of PSTA is its ability to encompass multiple modes of transportation as part of the trip-planning process,” said PSTA CEO Brad Miller. “PSTA has poised itself toward becoming a regional mobility manager for the Tampa Bay area and endorsing an app that integrates multiple modes of transportation is a major part of that forward-thinking shift.”
As part of the agreement with Transit, PSTA will have access to new data about how its riders are using the app and planning trips. Transit will also be advertised as PSTA’s official app via social media, as well as onboard buses and trolleys throughout Pinellas County.
The service is a flexible, reservation-based transit service designed to close the first- and last-mile gaps and connect riders to employment for just $5 per day.
