The bottom line.
Economic opportunities and car-free commuting are more accessible to residents in Antioch, Oakley, Pittsburg and parts of Bay Point, thanks to on-demand microtransit. Tri MyRide plays a key role linking residents and underserved communities to major regional transit hubs such as BART, where Tri MyRide directly increases BART ridership. Notably, nearly 40% of Tri MyRide trips connect to BART stations.
Tri MyRide’s high efficiency — 5 to 6 rides per hour, 8+ during peak hours — makes it one of the most impactful microtransit services in the country. Compared to riding fixed-route services alone, microtransit makes 120% more jobs accessible within 45 minutes across the region per capita. This significantly improved economic mobility, allowing more residents to reach more job options and advance their livelihoods.
