WeRide Expands to Peoria, Arizona, Enhancing Mobility Across Four Cities
Transdev is excited to announce the expansion of its popular WeRide microtransit service to Peoria, Arizona, which started on January 6, 2025. This expansion makes Peoria the fourth city in the WeRide program, joining Avondale, Goodyear, and Surprise. The service aims to provide residents with greater mobility and access to essential destinations like jobs, shopping, and recreation.
Operating within a 10-square-mile zone, the Peoria service is designed to meet local transportation needs by offering demand-response transit, especially in areas where traditional bus services are limited. WeRide’s flexible, on-demand model ensures seamless connections for first- and last-mile transportation while integrating with the existing Valley Metro network for a streamlined mobility experience.
The WeRide program has already demonstrated significant success in other cities. Avondale recently surpassed 2 million riders and expanded to Saturday service to accommodate increased demand. Goodyear has seen its daily ridership double, prompting an increase in fleet size. Across all service areas, rider satisfaction remains high, with app ratings consistently above 4.9 stars since the program launched.
Jacob Fritz, General Manager of Avondale and Goodyear, expressed his enthusiasm for the program’s growth stating, “WeRide has transformed how residents access their communities, providing reliable and flexible transit options that meet their unique needs. I’m thrilled to see Peoria embrace this innovative service and look forward to the positive impact it will bring.”
As WeRIDE launches in Peoria, Transdev remains committed to delivering transportation solutions that empower communities and enhance quality of life. “Our goal is to build partnerships that deliver measurable results while creating a sustainable and reliable service for every city we serve,” stated Administrator and General Manager, Jacob Fritz.
