Our goal is to help transit agencies rapidly respond to a fast-changing environment in a way that maximizes the safety of their riders, drivers, and wider communities. In order to do this we have built a rapid response plan that enables a microtransit launch within 48 hours, and a 5 part way to maximize the safety of your transit riders.
Shift away from moving lots of people to selectively moving the right people, by scaling down mass transit and scaling up microtransit.
Decentralize the risk of transit and health systems collapsing due to worker absenteeism, because microtransit is more resilient to outages than fixed routes.
Reduce the social mixing that exacerbates the spread of the virus and prioritize critical personnel.
Use microtransit to rapidly screen and test riders, and to promote good hygiene and responsible behaviour through educational ‘nudging’.
Use in-app technology to implement contact tracing, to better understand the spread of the virus and intervene appropriately when infections are detected.
Talk with an expert at Spare to learn about how we can help you launch an emergency-response microtransit service in your city.
Spare has built an emergency rapid-response framework that enables your agency to launch a targeted microtransit program in under 48 hours.
We've seen that it will take a while for transit ridership to recover. Spare will help you provide a flexible transit option until things are back to normal.
As of now, Spare has launched 3 systems around the world doing exactly this. To learn more about these systems, watch our micro-webinar.
