This is the first microtransit launch made possible through a transit agency’s membership to NEORide, an Ohio-based consortium.
The three-year agreement is retroactive to October and contains an option for the TARTA board to extend the contract an additional two years through October 2027.
The TARTA Next project involved multiple levels of community engagement, including a task force of community stakeholders.
TARTA’s new cloud-hosted SPOT CAD/AVL system delivers a suite of real-time arrival predictions, data collection and analysis, and system management tools.
The announcement comes after the news that current CEO Kimberly Dunham will transition to a new transportation leadership role in another city.
TARTA reaches a historic landmark in pursuit to strengthen public transit.
Both journey planning and Uber Transit Ticketing are rolling out today and will be available to 100% of riders in the 13 local transit agencies in Ohio and Kentucky over the next few weeks.
Increased local funding would allow TARTA to restore Sunday service and increase service frequency and hours for second and third shift workers.
The addition of electric vehicles is in line with the agency’s continued efforts to reduce its environmental footprint.
Participants are members of NEORide, a council of governments comprised of 13 transit systems.
