There’s a surprising blocker for US cities tapping into state or federal funding: grant writing. As Bloomberg News has reported, local governments who lack the capacity or bandwidth to undergo lengthy and complex grant application processes could be left out of historic investments. Luckily, our grant experts can help.

Integrierte, flexible Mobilitätsangebote für die Verkehrssysteme der Zukunft? 💡 Dr. Eva Fraedrich aus dem Via Partnerships Team schreibt in ihrem Artikel über die Herausforderungen des linien- und fahrplanbasierten ÖPNV und wie maßgeschneiderte bedarfsgerechte Angebote helfen können, diese zu adressieren.

6 months in a row, everyone! 6 months in a row of trips over 11,000. 6 months in a row of new ridership records for each month in 2024. 70,960 trips served over 6 months, completing 59.96% of last year's record ridership already. I got even more good news! July 1st, Delaware County Transit launched it's extended hours of FLEX service within the City of Delaware! One of the highlights was serving nearly 200 trips on Saturday July 6th! This was DCT's first Saturday service in nearly 10 years and we are excited to see that ridership increase in the not-too-distant future! We can make many assumptions about the data and where DCT is going...but we have to pause for just a moment. The front half of 2024 has proven to be an immense success. With our expanded hours, and our pending microstransit zone within the City of Sunbury, Ohio....what will the back half of 2024 look like? I got some ideas but I am going to enjoy our successes for one night...then gear up for the second part of the year :)

My first time in Birmingham yesterday since Masabi and Via launched National Express LTD ticketing within the Citymapper app. Such a slick experience! You can read more about it here or try it out yourself! - https://lnkd.in/dKsDduAs Shout out to Stuart McLay on the National Express side, Ravi Jolly and Alex Thomas at Via/Citymapper and the Masabi team for this great execution.

Smart piece by Julia Angwin on the frazzling effect from many journey navigation apps, which prioritize speed or trip duration over routes that are more enjoyable for the user. It doesn't have to be this way - which is why Via and Citymapper actively factor in deeper levels of customization (like minimizing annoying detours or strange turns!) to our routing algorithms.
