OUR MISSION IS TO SERVE OUR COMMUNITY WITH DEPENDABLE TRANSIT.

But our old asset management system was holding us back—manual processes and scattered information made it hard to keep up with the demands of a growing region. This is more than just new software—it’s a leap forward for how we serve our riders.”

A leap forward in user experience for PSTA.

PSTA staff have full visibility into the live status of nearly all of the trips running, which makes it easy to monitor service and address issues as they arise. The app's introduction gives riders more control and independence over their rides by enabling them to easily plan, book, monitor, and pay for trips within the app. It's these kinds of innovations that truly get us excited.

Pinellas Suncoast Transit Authority

Spare's track record of cost control, reliable product, and its people will do much more than upgrade East Bay Paratransit's operating platform.

Instead, it promises to elevate the commute to medical facilities, schools, workplaces, and social engagements for some of the Bay Area’s most deserving riders.

From a microtransit standpoint, they love the readily availability of the thing. We've had people say that they've got a new lease on life because now they're able to actually go out and do things more often.
