What is microtransit?
Microtransit is a flexible, on-demand transportation service that uses dynamically routed vehicles to respond to real-time passenger requests via a smartphone app. Unlike traditional public transit, microtransit does not follow fixed routes or schedules, allowing for more adaptive and efficient routing. Like other CAT services, it is used by our ambulatory paratransit riders and is ADA accessible.
