RideCo is an on-demand transit technology and services company that enables on-demand ridesharing for transit agencies in cities around the globe. We partner with transit agencies and experienced fleet operators to design, simulate, launch and operate on-demand transit services and have launched services with some of the largest agencies in North America.

Our solutions reduce travel time, decrease walking distance, and increase service frequency for riders. This lowers transit agencies’ cost-per-ride, reduces demand for parking, and attracts net new riders to transit systems. Our industry-leading productivity directly results in millions of dollars per year in savings for transit agencies and substantial reductions in vehicle revenue hours and associated vehicle emissions.

RideCo is focused on making transit more accessible for riders and making on-demand transit a financially sound investment for transit agencies.

RIDECO: Fleet operators and public transit agencies around the world use RideCo’s cloud based ‘dynamic shuttle’ software platform to provide on-demand shared rides in dynamically routed buses, vans, and cars. Our solution works in real-time at large scale across a mixed fleet of vehicles from buses to sedans in both high- and low-density urban environments. We build technology for next-generation transit. Imagine a world where vehicles have dynamic routes responsive to real-time trip demand. This ‘dynamic shuttle’ (or van /sedan) would pick you up, on-demand, at or near your doorstep and take you to your destination or transit hub. Along the way, it may pick-up other passengers going your way. Your experience will be seamless: less waiting, less walking, fewer transfers, and shorter travel time. RideCo enables this experience and low-cost shared rides for vehicle fleet operators and their passengers. [http://www.rideco.com]
