"We were talking about this a little earlier with an individual who may have some influence at the FTA soon…if we don’t change the way in which we deliver the service, the system will become outdated. And individuals who have every right to live to the greatest degree of independence will be left on the sideline.” - Marcus Molinaro, Former FTA Administrator Looking for more highlights like these from our panel at #APTAEXPO?

“There are some of you who listen in and think, “Well, maybe the FTA won’t let us do this.” The short answer is that the FTA will let you…partner with TNCs to really expand choices so that individuals, regardless of ability, can achieve the highest level of independence.”  - Marcus Molinaro, Former FTA Administrator Earlier this month at #APTAEXPO, key leadership from six transit agencies (Namecca P., Michael Andrade, Daniel Whitehouse, Cassandra West, Jeffrey Smith), Christian T. Kent, Transit Management Consulting, LLC, and former FTA Administrator Marc Molinaro joined Uber Transit live to discuss the role of TNCs in providing unparalleled access to riders. ✨ Check out the full panel, including Marc’s opening remarks, here: https://lnkd.in/gdFKr9ae.

Our first Uber Transit Innovation Fund program just launched, and it’s making waves in the Bay Area. 🚤✨ The San Francisco Bay Ferry is now offering discounted Uber rides to Alameda-based passengers traveling to and from the Alameda Seaplane Terminal. Available Monday through Friday during Seaplane Terminal hours, this program provides essential first-and-last-mile connections to passengers. This means: ✅ Up to two daily discounted rides for seaplane riders ✅ Riders can claim vouchers in just a few taps  ✅ Simpler commuting to work, errands, and more for Alameda residents. Uber Transit has invested $2.41 million to help 51 public transit agencies, municipalities, and regional authorities pilot innovative on-demand mobility solutions. We're proud to count the #SFBayFerry among that number, and we're excited to track the progress of this innovative program.
