    S3E1. On-Demand Transit in Rural Iowa

    Last year, the Heart of Iowa Regional Transit Agency (HIRTA) launched a new on-demand transit service across 7 counties of rural Iowa. This is an exciting development since many rural communities lack on-demand transportation options; instead many people who use transit services in similar communities need to book their trips well in advance. Changes like this are exciting opportunities to make mobility even more accessible to rural residents. Julia Castillo, HIRTA’s Executive Director, and Brooke Ramsey, HIRTA’s Business Manager talk to us about this latest effort among their endless numbers of innovative programs.

    S2E7: When the Stars Align: Why Microtransit Works in Cedar Rapids, Iowa

    Neighborhood Transportation Service is a curb-to-curb van service that provides an affordable transportation option for Cedar Rapids residents when fixed-route service is not available. NTS was established in the 1990’s to ensure that 2nd and 3rd shift workers could have a safe, affordable ride to and from work. Prior to 2021, NTS was using paper based scheduling for their rides, but transitioned to the microtransit platform Via. Their service has seen substantial growth since the implementation of the software, as well as increased coordination with neighboring transit agencies.
