Delivering the Next Generation of Paratransit
Mobility is freedom. We are committed to giving our paratransit riders the freedom and confidence to navigate a city and its communities.
Today, we are part of a movement to improve paratransit operational logistics and service delivery. Together with our clients, Transdev delivers access to new on-demand platforms that connect riders with vehicles far more quickly and efficiently. Passengers can make and change reservations via call centers, or web and mobile sites.
Real-time texts or phone updates inform passengers and care givers on the status and timing of passenger pick-ups. Tablets on board vehicles and at key drop-off and pick-up locations ensure more effective real-time coordination and management of schedule changes, which are inherent in the service delivery process. Improved routing algorithms ensure that routes are maximized for efficiency and get drivers to doors more quickly.
Technology Improves Passenger Experience
Transdev is improving technology platforms to support our commitment of delivering reliable on-time operations. We use the world’s leading software systems to match rides, dispatch efficiently, and ensure quality.
Training
Our ongoing training programs help dispatchers, schedulers, reservationists and managers learn how to use their software most effectively.
Dispatching and routing
Our customizations of paratransit platforms enhance the “real-time” performance of dispatch and dynamic route planning.
On-demand trips
Build flexibility into trip designs so fluctuating demand and changes in passenger schedules can be accommodated and efficiently managed.
Rigorous maintenance
Maintenance standards take on a new meaning when transporting some of our passengers for whom unnecessary movements and vibrations of the vehicle can have an especially uncomfortable impact.
Excellence in Operations
To help our clients manage their tight budgets, we rigorously focus on efficiency. And at every step, we hold ourselves to the very highest standards of safety and quality passenger experience.
Focus on operator training
Based on the location, our operators experience the same level of rigorous training as our bus operators. This includes graduating from our Operator Development Program: 120 hours of training with 80 hours of that on the road.
Attention to important details
As evidence of our commitment to safety as our No. 1 priority, Transdev trains operators in all the important details of operating paratransit vehicles that make big differences to passengers. This includes wheelchair securements, safe usage of wheelchair lifts and ramps and how to interact with passengers to ensure they feel safe through every mile. It’s this attention to detail that helps our paratransit operations earn consistently positive customer service scores.
