About us
RideCo is an on-demand transit technology and services company that enables on-demand ridesharing for transit agencies in cities around the globe. We partner with transit agencies and experienced fleet operators to design, simulate, launch and operate on-demand transit services and have launched services with some of the largest agencies in North America. Our solutions reduce travel time, decrease walking distance, and increase service frequency for riders. This lowers transit agencies’ cost-per-ride, reduces demand for parking, and attracts net new riders to transit systems. Our industry-leading productivity directly results in millions of dollars per year in savings for transit agencies and substantial reductions in vehicle revenue hours and associated vehicle emissions. RideCo is focused on making transit more accessible for riders and making on-demand transit a financially sound investment for transit agencies.

How did Southeastern Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) use next-generation technology to transform #paratransit service delivery and save more than $5M in annualized costs? Using RideCo On-Demand Transit's industry-leading paratransit solution, the agency has seen a complete transformation of their operations across reservations, scheduling, dispatching, and eligibility management. In less than four months since launching SEPTA Access, the operational efficiencies gained have resulted in: 📌 More than $5M in annualized cost savings for the agency, with further cost savings projected as service optimizations are implemented to hit the project’s 12-month targets 📌 Improvements in service delivery that have led to an 8% increase in on-time performance, a new agency record at an 88% average on-time performance Read the full case study to see the initial service results from the largest #ondemandtransit system running on a cloud-based platform: https://lnkd.in/gP9_k_eg. #RideCo #CustomerSuccess #TransitInnovation

📌 New Blog 📌 Our latest blog delves into a recent study on continuous dynamic optimization (CDO) by Will Rodman and Kelly Blume from Texas A&M Transportation Institute, providing insight into how CDO is transforming operations and the delivery of #paratransit service. Their research shows that transit agencies are benefiting from CDO with better scheduling and dispatching, increased productivity, and reduced operating costs. We also explore CDO through RideCo On-Demand Transit's industry-leading platform and how Solver, our patented optimization engine, is automating scheduling and dispatching, helping agency partners handle real-time changes to improve overall operational and cost efficiency. ➡️ Check out the full blog to learn how CDO could benefit your agency: https://lnkd.in/gA3brh9C. #RideCo #OnDemandTransit #Innovation

🎉 Congratulations to our agency partner, Unified Government of Wyandotte County and Kansas City, KS, (UG) on winning the 2024 Innovation Award from the Kansas Public Transit Association! 🎉 We’re proud to have worked with UG over the past year, providing RideCo On-Demand Transit technology to power #paratransit and #microtransit service in Wyandotte County. Since our collaboration began, IRIS has improved mobility throughout the community, expanded both service area and hours, and received outstanding feedback from almost 3,000 riders with an average 4.9/5 ride rating. Here’s to the continued success of IRIS and our ongoing partnership! #RideCo #RideKC #KansasCity #InnovationAward
At the 2024 annual conference of the Kansas Public Transit Association, the Unified Government (UG) Transportation Department was honored with a 2024 Innovation Award for its implementation of on-demand transit services in Wyandotte County. Congratulations to the entire team! The UG Transportation Department implemented the leading-edge booking and routing software IRIS, provided by RideCo On-Demand Transit, to improve the customer experience for on-demand transportation services. Launched last autumn, the UG offers same-day booking and convenient reservations by phone, web or app; electronic fare payment; and real-time trip updates for both the RideKC On-Demand Microtransit and Paratransit services. With this new system, the UG Transportation Department was able to expand the microtransit zone by 22 square miles and offer weekend service to improve access to key employment and entertainment areas of the county. "This award is a reflection of the hard work, dedication, and innovative spirit of our entire team, said Transportation Director Deasiray Bush. "I am honored to receive this recognition from the Kansas Public Transit Association, and it fuels our commitment to continue enhancing our services and finding new ways to meet the evolving needs of our community."
