Sarasota County, FL on-demand public transit service

In Progress

Sarasota County has partnered with River North Transit, a subsidiary of Via Transportation, to offer residents an on-demand public transit service. The on-demand system will enable riders to request a vehicle via mobile app or by calling a phone number within designated zones to reach their final destination. As a promotion, the Sarasota County Transit Agency will offer this service for free during the first two weeks. The county estimates a 10% increase in ridership as a result of this option.
