Vancouver-based startup Spare is transforming paratransit services by integrating modern technology to create on-demand services, reducing costs and improving efficiency.
Kristoffer Vik Hansen stated, 'If you have a temporary disability and can use an Uber, we can send you an Uber instead of a larger vehicle, lowering costs.'
Vik Hansen highlighted inefficiencies in paratransit, noting that many cities operate with outdated technology, making services expensive and hard to manage.
New York City's paratransit service, costing $517 million in 2023, exemplifies the urgent need for improved technology to enhance efficiency and reduce spending.
