What Is Microtransit:
Microtransit is an app-based transportation service that allows users to dispatch rides with a specific geographic area using their smartphones. Its rideshare routes are efficient and shift based on rider demand. Once Via Verde is launched, those who are technology-averse or who don’t have a Smart Phone can call for a ride using a Via Verde call center. CPMCC is customizing Via Verde for the community by hiring only local driver/ambassadors and offering the service in English and Spanish.
