Opportunities for Rural Mobility as a Service (MaaS)

June 18, 1:00-2:30 PM ET

Mobility as a Service (MaaS) melds various transportation options into a single, user-friendly platform, allowing customers to plan, book, and pay for their journeys in one place. Commonly associated with large cities, MaaS is now making inroads in rural America. In this webinar, we'll share lessons from two successful MaaS initiatives, one in rural Minnesota, the other from the San Joaquin Valley in California, which contains a number of rural areas. We'll also demonstrate how your scheduling and dispatch software can interface with existing MaaS platforms to seamlessly connect customers to fixed-route and demand-responsive transit, along with carshare, vanpool, taxi, and ridehail services. Register now for this exciting webinar.
