Local Trend. Ride Share to Supplement Public Transit. The city. The partnership. The goal.

City: West Sacramento

The company West Sacremento is partnering with: Via

How ride share will fit into the city’s public transit system: 

  • rider will be able to use an app to set pickup and dropoff locations
  • van will pick up several riders and make multiple stops
  • rider may be asked to walk a block or two

The city’s policy goals:

  • cut down on the time it takes riders to get from one place to another
  • limit the amount of effort necessary to navigate the public transit system
