| Abstract | This report documents the background, implementation, and evaluation of Sound Transit and King County Metro’s Mobility on Demand (MOD) Sandbox Demonstration project, Via to Transit, in the Puget Sound region. As sub-recipients to LA Metro, Sound Transit and King County Metro partnered with private mobility provider Via to test the viability of a partnership with a Transportation Network Company (TNC) to increase access to transit. This project brings a focus on how to enhance access for passengers with travel disabilities, including those who require wheelchair accessible vehicles, people with limited English proficiency, unbanked populations, and people without access to smartphones. The project features providing access to service to all populations. |
