Open Fleets benefits
Your service, your choice
Choose the most optimal fleet provider based on criteria important to you or optimize usage of dedicated vs. non-dedicated fleets based on your business goals and rider needs. After all, you know your riders and service best.
Curb driver shortages
Fortify your services from the nation-wide challenge of driver shortages by supplementing your dedicated fleets with non-dedicated service providers already available in your community.
Lower cost-per-trip
Operate your trips with a closer eye on your bottom line. Use dedicated fleets where it makes sense and dispatch other trips to taxis or TNCs in your region, on-demand to reduce costs.
Dynamically increase capacity
Expand service coverage, manage supply during peak periods, optimize the usage of your WAV vehicles, or offer overflow service to meet same-day demand. The use cases are limitless: Open Fleets was built to be flexible and scalable.
Offer a better passenger experience
Present to riders a service with less wait times and more spontaneity–bringing autonomy back in their lives at a fraction of the cost.
Maximum control & visibility
Dispatch, cancel and have full visibility into the live status of each trip, regardless of which provider, all from a single platform.
By the numbers
Access a large network of fleets
In North America, 80% of all bookable vehicles are available on Spare through Open Fleets.
Reduces operating costs
Open Fleets dramatically reduces the operating costs of microtransit and paratransit services. For many agencies this represents greater than 50% in savings.
Increased rider capacity
With increased capacity through Spare’s Open Fleets technology, some agencies have seen a 200% increase in ridership.
The ridership growth numbers are astronomical, which really underscores the need for accessible transportation in our area. The City of McKinney is always on the lookout for an innovative solution, and the Spare platform certainly fits the brief.
