Transdev’s WeRIDE Microtransit contract in Arizona was launched in November 2022 to address a transportation demand issue. As it celebrates its one-year anniversary, it’s clear the service has helped that important need.
Check out the local Avondale, AZ media coverage the anniversary received here.
