In December 2020, LA Metro launched the Metro Micro on-demand transit service to connect Angelenos with their existing transit network and accommodate short trips throughout LA County. This project is the single largest public on-demand transit service worldwide and has been 3 years in the making. To make this all possible it took LA's innovative approach to procurement, in-depth planning from both teams, and clear operational goals.
In this webinar Shared-Use Mobility Center Founder in Residence, Sharon Feigon will be moderating a discussion between Metro Micro Project Manager, Rani Narula-Woods and RideCo CEO, Prem Gururajan. They'll share details about the project, the challenges that have been overcome, and how the Metro Micro service was set up for success.
Hear directly from the team involved in the project about:
Transit isn't the only thing available on-demand!
Prem Gururajan is Co-Founder and CEO of RideCo, an industry-leading on-demand transit technology platform that powers dynamic and responsive services for some of North America’s largest transit agencies, including Los Angeles, Houston, San Antonio, Calgary, and Las Vegas. Leading the RideCo team in one on-demand success story after another, Prem’s expertise in computer vision and urban mobility systems helped RideCo win the largest ever public microtransit contract; the 100+ vehicle project for Los Angeles Metro that required over two years of planning and extensive service modelling.
