Reimagining Paratransit: High Performance Living Through New Technology

About this webinar

Join us on Wednesday, July 12th from 1:00 – 2:00 pm EDT as CK Rider’s LJ Weslowski, Jamie Tiippet-Poe and RideCo's Brian Hageman speak about CK Rider’s approach to build a modern paratransit system with SaaS software.

Rider Transit (Concord and Kannapolis, NC) and RideCo will open the doors and discuss everything from inception, the decision to implement paratransit, specifics of how the service works, its impressive results, and what's in store for the future!

In this webinar, you’ll learn about:

  • How to select your partner for a new paratransit platform
  • Driving operational improvements with service metrics
  • Improving the efficiency of call center, scheduling, and dispatch
  • Improve rider satisfaction.
  • Driving operational efficiency gains
  • Outbound SMS + IVR impact on riders and operations

With growing ridership and continual budget challenges, Rider Transit has been able to tap into their partnership with RideCo to meet both demands head-on successfully.
