💡 "Arlington RAPID is the first program in the United States to integrate on-demand, autonomous vehicles (AVs) into an existing public transportation service over a 1 square mile area." Check out this case study from our partner May Mobility, highlighting how public transit innovation is getting the job done in Arlington, TX with the Arlington RAPID service.
What do the numbers look like for a successful AV service? For our Arlington Rapid deployment, it's 70,000 miles driven, 52,000+ rides, 91% repeat ridership and 4.9/5 rider approval rating. When you're solving real transportation problems, it shows! https://lnkd.in/gWjCvrYR

🎉 🇨🇦 Congratulations to Calgary Transit on the exciting expansion of the on-demand microtransit service! We’re thrilled to see even more communities gain access to flexible and efficient transportation options, connecting residents to essential services and the broader transit network. It’s been incredible to see the success of Calgary Transit On Demand in Livingston and Carrington over the past few years, and we’re looking forward to supporting its continued growth across the City of Calgary.
On August 18, 2024, Calgary Transit is launching On Demand transit service in four new zones in Calgary. The service is a great way for us to introduce transit sooner to growing communities that don’t yet have the population needed for traditional bus routes. It provides a much-needed connection to the broader transit network for Calgarians in these communities, and better access to nearby services. The areas that will see this new On Demand service are: · Ambleton in the northwest · Glacier Ridge and Sage Hill in the northwest · Ricardo Ranch, Seton, and Rangeview in the southeast · Pine Creek, Belmont, and Yorkville in the southwest We’ve had great success with our On Demand service in Livingston and Carrington over the past few years and are thrilled to expand it to even more Calgarians. Information about the service can be found at https://lnkd.in/g9ztfqBA.
