Including a recent six-year stint at the Valley Metro Regional Public Transit Authority in Phoenix, which partnered with UZURV to provide accessible, on-demand trips to the community in 2019.\u00a0<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cOver the course of the last five years,\u201d says UZURV\u2019s CEO John Donlon, \u201cUZURV has developed an amazing team and technology platform that is revolutionizing transportation for people with disabilities. We have experienced tremendous growth as more and more transit agencies have begun to recognize that it is possible to provide on-demand transportation that delivers independence and freedom while also saving money over more traditional paratransit services. Our partnership with Accessible Avenue will help us further refine our services to meet the needs of communities who need it most.\u201d<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;80433&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243;][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1620766793691{margin-top: 10px !important;border-top-width: 0px !important;padding-top: 0px !important;}&#8221;]<strong>Ron Brooks<\/strong><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Founder, Accessible Avenue<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_column_text]<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cFor me,\u201d says Ron, who, in addition to being an experienced industry insider is also blind, \u201cUZURV represents the next step in the evolution of transportation for people with disabilities who cannot always use conventional public transit service. In the past and in many locations to this day, customers who depend on paratransit have to schedule every aspect of their lives at least a day in advance. Which is extremely challenging for anyone with a family or a job or the desire to live a spontaneous life. By building a network of specialty-credentialed drivers that have been vetted, trained and certified to provide safe, high-quality and accessible transportation on-demand, UZURV is changing the game, and the chance to contribute to their efforts is a dream come true. Because it\u2019s not only benefitting my industry, it\u2019s benefitting me and other people with disabilities who want to travel with dignity and flexibility.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With technology playing an increasing role in expanding public transit and non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) mobility, this partnership will build and establish strategic practices and services to ensure seniors and people with disabilities have access to on-demand transportation when they need it. Together, UZURV and Accessible Avenue will assist transit agencies and NEMT providers in effectively providing an excellent rider experience catered to the unique needs of paratransit and transportation disadvantaged riders.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;80428&#8243; media_width_use_pixel=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_pixel=&#8221;250&#8243;][uncode_block id=&#8221;94114&#8243;][\/vc_column][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/2&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;80429&#8243; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243;][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n<h3><b>About Accessible Avenue\u00a0<\/b><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Founded in 2020, Accessible Avenue exists to connect public agencies and private organizations with consulting and training services that can assist in the development and delivery of mobility for everyone, including seniors and people with disabilities.
