Division Description The Innovative Transit program is a new service funded through the Valley Transportation Authority’s (VTA) Measure B Innovative Transit grant program. The funding is for two years and will provide a new on-demand shuttle service for City residents and visitors. The service will be provided by a transportation partner, Rideco, Inc., and overseen by staff in the Public Services Department. The on-demand service will provide virtual stops within a short walk for all residents in the City, allowing them to use the service to connect to other transportation such as Caltrain and regional bus service. The service will provide residents with transportation for various other travel needs within the City. The intent of the two-year grant program is to evaluate the success of the model within the Community. Should the model prove successful, the City will work with VTA to identify a means to sustain the program.
