Via’s vision for Chicagoland.

Chicagoland is home to bus rapid transit (BRT), high-frequency bus line, commuter rail, and — of course — its famous L. But how will you make sure your riders can connect to these different modes of transit?

On-demand microtransit can offer high-quality first- and last-mile connections exactly where — and when — your riders need it. Read on to learn how the country’s leading provider of tech-powered transit services can build on the city’s success and deliver microtransit that’s future-proofed.

Local fixed-route buses will still be an important part of Chicagoland’s transit network. But in some areas, delivering service with enough frequency to attract ridership can actually be more expensive with fixed-route than with microtransit. 

Explore the Remix map of Chicagoland to see locations where microtransit is likely to be more cost-effective than a fixed-route bus. Toggle layers showing car-free households and poverty rates to see where on-demand can be especially impactful.
