MCA is part of a team selected by GBT to review the existing services, but primarily focus on expanding the GBT role to include more mobility options connecting to the communities and varied user groups. GBT recognizes that many areas have considered various options and alternatives for working with ride hailing services, and various types of micro transit operations either directly or indirectly connecting with medical and social agency trips, serving seniors, people with disabilities and those with lower incomes, et al.
The goals of the project are:
Increase mobility options and diversify products
Ensure low cost and appropriate service
Expand geographic coverage
Effectively connect with other GBT services
Partner with, not compete, with other providers
The MCA assignments include developing mobility management and coordination concepts, reporting on applicability of microtransit type solutions and ensuring a collaborative process working with agency and community groups.
