Ratified by the Greensboro Transit Agency Board, the new contract became effective October 1st, 2020 under the I-Ride title as a Rider Choice Program serving the citizens of Greensboro.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The contract was awarded through a competitive RFP process in which UZURV\u2019S response demonstrated overall value, a proven track record of service, and a 99% on time performance rating for the community<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. With this award, the program builds on GTA and UZURV\u2019s two-year successful pilot program with iRide, which received significant public support for efficient performance and positive community impact.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>\u201cThe Greensboro Transit Agency is excited to continue our partnership with UZURV.

The continued vote of confidence with this contract, the ongoing community encouragement, and GTA\u2019s commitment to this program clearly shows their support to their ridership, particularly among elderly and people with disabilities.\u201d said UZURV CEO John Donlon after the installation of the three-year contract.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UZURV brings three years of Adaptive TNC expertise and is a trusted innovation partner to transit agencies across the country, providing more than 400,000 rides to special needs clients while helping lower the overall systemic cost of paratransit service delivery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">UZURV\u2019s unique technology and mobility platform prioritizes safety and makes sure proper assistance is available to the rider, while allowing transit agencies to increase overall paratransit system efficiency.
