The three shared, plug-in hybrid electric shuttles will provide a sustainable, demand-responsive, dynamically routed, microtransit service to bridge transportation gaps and provide connectivity between services and locations in underserved communities. This service will provide a new, innovative, affordable and accessible transportation option for residents and visitors, reducing congestion and improving public health. The City’s Transportation Department will sponsor a community contest to name the new shuttle service.
