Modal

Modal offers on-demand transit software designed to optimize public transport. Key features include: • Multimodal transit coordination • Research-based optimization algorithms • On-demand shuttle dispatch • Integration with existing fixed routes This platform reimagines public transportation by focusing on multimodal strategies, ensuring riders utilize high-capacity, cost-efficient buses for the majority of their journey, while on-demand shuttles cover the crucial first and last miles. This integrated approach significantly reduces the cost per rider compared to traditional microtransit models, making transit more affordable and accessible. Modal's system is built to expand service areas, reduce service cannibalization, and ultimately increase overall ridership by providing a convenient and efficient travel experience. It supports ADA-compliant demand response operations, making it ideal for paratransit and commingling services. The platform has demonstrated success in increasing ridership and reducing travel times in various pilot programs. This platform is perfect for transit authorities, municipalities, universities, hospitals, and corporations looking to enhance their transportation offerings. It helps improve equity by serving areas with limited transit access and boosts fixed-route ridership by funneling passengers from surrounding areas directly to core bus and rail lines, all while operating at a significantly lower cost.
