Transforming rural journeys
Our all-in-one solution for tailoring on-demand transit services for low-density communities.
Why it matters
Modern tools optimize routes and vehicle usage, increasing service efficiency by up to 35%, which is crucial in low-density areas with dispersed demand.
These tools enhance service availability, improving access to transit by 20% in low-density regions where traditional fixed routes are less effective.
The Impact
Agencies employing advanced tools see a 30% boost in rider satisfaction, as services become more reliable and responsive to the needs of low-density communities.
By optimizing resources, agencies have cut costs by up to 25%, making it economically viable to provide transit in low-density areas.
How Spare Helps
Agile routes for all
Instead of fixed routes, Spare enables agencies to deliver demand responsive trips optimized for maximum efficiency across the region. This allows agencies to cover large geographical areas with fewer vehicles.
Enable smart savings
Spare optimizes dispatch and routing in low-density areas, minimizing fuel use and vehicle wear. This cuts costs, making transit economically viable in these regions.
Highly flexible and configurable
Our intuitive, all-in-one platform helps agencies seamlessly scale demand-responsive transit services up or down to build the type of services each community needs.
Keep up with urban sprawl
The rise in urban populations means mobility technology needs to follow suit. Spare is ideal for agencies looking to improve transit mobility in communities with large areas and dispersed trip patterns.

Replacing Dial-a-Ride at GATRA
The Greater Attleboro-Taunton Regional Transit Authority transitioned from fixed-route, dial-a-ride, and NEMT services to GATRA Go United, an on-demand transit service powered by Spare. This change enhanced service efficiency, reduced costs, and improved accessibility for residents, allowing for convenient trip bookings via app or phone – reducing wait times and uncertainty.
Embracing On-Demand Transit: Unlocking Opportunities in Small Cities
Transit agencies are usually small, and we run very lean and fast, with everything often being last minute. Spare is really easy to work with. As we expanded the Spare Platform into the paratransit side, we found it was just as easy for the dispatchers to use as it was for us.
