Placer County Transit will soon be offering microtransit as part of a pilot program to enhance the region’s dial-a-ride service.
Microtransit offers residents curb-to-curb transportation with the ability to reserve same-day trips via a smartphone app. Similar to Uber and Lyft, passengers are notified through the app of pick-up times and can also track the vehicle’s location.
The Board of Supervisors on recently authorized the director of public works to enter a three-year contract with Spare Labs Inc. to provide microtransit technology for the county’s dial-a-ride service that operates in Rocklin and Lincoln. The contract includes options to extend for two, one-year terms. The first full year of microtransit service will cost $56,000 and $53,000 for each of the following two years.
