Drive greater independence with same-day paratransit
Empower riders with the freedom of same-day paratransit. Offer spontaneous travel options, flexible scheduling, and reduced wait times with Spare's smart, on-demand ADA paratransit solution.
Why it matters
By 2050, as the population of people aged 65 and older doubles, transit agencies are enhancing their ADA paratransit planning to ensure fair access to essential services for this demographic and people with disabilities.
Nearly 25% of adults with disabilities report inadequate transportation as a significant barrier to participating in social and recreational activities.
The Impact
By commingling paratransit with microtransit, agencies like Cheyenne Transit Program have reduced its cost per trip by 36%, from $46 to $29, and increased ridership by 56%.
These tools help agencies expand service coverage by 15-25%, enabling more commuters to easily access main transit hubs.
How Spare helps
Expand capacity, not your fleet
Handle same-day ride requests efficiently by using Spare’s trip brokering technology to partner with third-party operators, adding extra capacity when needed. Optimize your existing fleet by sharing vehicles across multiple services through commingling, ensuring timely rides without increasing your fleet size.
Transform your rider's journey
Enhance the experience for riders with same-day service options. The Spare-powered app lets riders book trips on the spot, track their vehicles in real-time, and receive accurate ETAs, offering a level of flexibility that meets the needs of those requiring spontaneous travel. Riders benefit from modern ADA and paratransit features, ensuring a smooth and accessible journey every time.
Optimized fleet use on the go
Spare keeps your fleet productive by quickly reallocating vehicles from canceled or no-show trips to same-day ride requests. This minimizes downtime and maximizes the use of your fleet, allowing for efficient handling of unpredictable demand.
Cost Savings That Grow Over Time
Year after year, achieve greater efficiency and cost savings by launching same-day services that use commingling and automated trip brokering. This approach reduces operational costs and maximizes fleet efficiency, ensuring a smarter, more cost-effective service.
PSTA Access increased its OTP by 2% to 95% by retraining PSTA traffic

Combining buses and taxis was the hope we had when we reached out to Spare – and it works great. We are excited to finally see an on-demand service in Palma. We had this in mind for a long time, and we implemented it in record time.
