Reduce the need for multiple transfers and long in-transit times with efficient single trips.
The modernization of our paratransit system has been one of the fastest, large-scale deployments in SEPTA’s history. It has been an amazing journey so far, and we are thrilled to immediately see such a positive impact on the operators and SEPTA support staff.” Cassandra West, Assistant Chief Operating Officer, SEPTA
With RideCo Instant Assign, trips are immediately added to schedules once booked. When a rider books a trip in advance, it is automatically assigned to a vehicle manifest. Our software begins assigning rides to vehicle itineraries as soon as any trip is booked and re-optimizes each itinerary as more rides are booked.
Maximized Vehicle Utilization
Our algorithm, Solver, optimizes for high vehicle utilization, maximizing the number of shared rides, while staying true to the arrive-before time provided to the passenger at the time of booking. This ensures the maximum number of rides can be serviced with the available resources.
What does it do?
By assigning rides to scheduled vehicles immediately upon booking, the Instant Assign feature helps our partners avoid scheduling uncertainties.
Serve both microtransit and paratransit rides with the same fleet by picking up and dropping off microtransit passengers at flex stops and paratransit passengers at doorsteps.
