The Rapid has been working to transition its bus fleet away from diesel fuel to lower-emission options since 2017.
Riders can tap and ride across 27 fixed routes, two BRT lines, and six on-demand vehicles using their contactless cards or devices for easier access to its services.
The new air purification units were installed on nearly 70% of buses in The Rapid’s fleet.
The free app offers features to help new and existing customers better understand traveling by bus.
The change improves customer experience, avoids expensive equipment replacements, and aligns with how people pay fares on other buses in the system.
Transdev is now responsible for the operations and maintenance of The Rapid’s paratransit fleet.
Deborah Prato will bring over 30 years of public sector experience to the role, including 10 years of executive team experience in public transportation.
During the webinar, which is now available on demand, Morgan Lyons discussed how to plan for a crisis, as well as how look ahead once the nation can get through the pandemic, before being joined by the transit CEOs.
The webinar, taking place April 7 at 11 a.m. Pacific/2 p.m. Eastern, features Morgan Lyons of Lyons Creative, The Rapid's Andrew Johnson, and the Port Authority of Allegheny County's Katherine Kelleman.
This will be the company’s first-ever deployment fully dedicated to overhauling a city’s paratransit services.
