Via Transportation, Inc. is a global technology company that specializes in public mobility solutions. Founded in 2012 by Daniel Ramot and Oren Shoval, Via pioneered the TransitTech category by leveraging new technologies to develop and optimize public transportation systems. The company's mission is to re-engineer public transit from a system of rigid routes and schedules to a fully dynamic, on-demand network, making transportation more efficient, equitable, and sustainable. Via provides an end-to-end software platform that enables cities, transit agencies, school districts, universities, and corporations to plan, operate, and optimize their transportation networks. This includes services like microtransit, paratransit, student transit, and corporate shuttles. Their technology connects multiple passengers heading in the same direction, allowing them to share rides, thereby reducing traffic congestion and carbon emissions.
Headquartered in New York City, Via has a significant global presence, operating in over 700 communities across more than 35 countries. The company's solutions are designed to enhance accessibility for all populations, including those with limited mobility, individuals without smartphones, and unbanked individuals. Via's platform supports various vehicle types, including buses, shuttles, wheelchair-accessible vehicles, school buses, and autonomous and electric vehicles. By digitizing existing transportation networks and launching innovative new services, Via aims to lower operational costs for its partners while improving the quality and convenience of public transit. The company emphasizes collaboration with its partners, sharing knowledge, resources, data, and ideas to build more livable and connected cities. Via's approach focuses on creating transportation systems that provide better access to education, healthcare, and employment opportunities for everyone.
