Transdev is addressing a long-term need in the East Palo Alto and Half Moon Bay areas by providing on-demand microtransit services to passengers in areas where access to fixed bus routes had been challenging.
The budgets are for fiscal years (FY) 2024 and 2025 and cover both operating and capital expenses.
The collaboration empowers transit agencies to enhance microtransit and paratransit services using Uber's network.
Total system ridership in April 2023 was 10% higher than in April 2022, reaching the highest ridership level recorded since the onset of the coronavirus pandemic in March 2020.
Six vehicles will be used to maintain paratransit service and enhance the agency’s on-demand offerings.
The new integration allows riders to plan, book their multimodal journey across traditional fixed routes and on-demand microtransit, enabled by RideCo.
DCTA and Via celebrated the milestone by holding a ceremonial one-millionth ride and by honoring GoZone drivers at the Downtown Denton Transit Center.
The companies will collaborate on infrastructure developments and formally pursue opportunities to implement AVs across a range of commercial and municipal locations globally.
Though paratransit has advanced significantly since riders having to call in days in advance for a ride, transformation of paratransit to combat existing challenges is ongoing.
