Public transit agencies face mounting challenges: evolving rider needs, driver shortages, and tighter budgets. TNCs help agencies fill critical gaps by providing flexible, on-demand capacity that extends service coverage and reduces wait times. However, recent federal clarifications from the FTA could limit partnerships with third-party providers like TNCs, risking higher costs and reduced service, particularly for paratransit riders.
Many agencies have called for the clarification to be withdrawn, recognizing the essential role TNCs play in meeting rider demand while maintaining service quality. This eBook explores Spare Open Fleets, the solution that seamlessly connects dedicated vehicles with third-party providers through a mixed fleet approach. Spare pioneered the integration of services like Uber, Lyft, and UZURV into public transit, enabling agencies to scale services, reduce wait times, and improve rider experiences without losing operational control.
With 3 million mixed-fleet rides powered by Spare, agencies are transforming transit and delivering better outcomes for their communities. See why so many have chosen to integrate TNCs into their operations.
