Spirit Bus

Proposed Route Changes

The City Monterey Park recently completed an evaluation of its fixed-route transportation program, Spirit Bus. As a result, the City is considering changes to the program including route restructures and implementation of on-demand (microtransit) zones within the City. Microtransit is an on-demand transit option that is more flexible than fixed shuttle routes and appointment-like paratransit and is powered by innovative technology to route and schedule trips in real-time. The routing software uses live, on-the-ground information to add people traveling in the same direction into the same vehicle, allowing passengers to be picked up and dropped off in a continuous stream that translates into a ride system that is highly efficient and environmentally friendly. Riders will be able to book a trip using a smartphone application or by calling the program’s call center and also track their vehicle, similar to other rideshare service like Uber or Lyft. The changes will be part of a one-year pilot program. At the conclusion of the pilot program, staff would use key performance indicators to prepare a Request for Proposals for soliciting fixed-route and/or microtransit services for the community.
