Using Technology to Deliver On-Demand Public Transportation
O.D. Harris
Councilmember at City of Chandler
O.D. Harris, the Council member of the City of Chandler, has played a pivotal role in advocating for the use of technology to deliver on-demand public services. His insights have demonstrated how strategic integration of technology can lead to a more responsive, efficient, and citizen-centric approach to governance, ultimately enhancing the overall quality of life for the residents of Chandler.
In today’s changing urban landscape, where city populations are always changing and resources are limited, the world of public transportation is going through a big change. This change is called on-demand microtransit, a new way of making public transit more adaptable, focused on users, and efficient. The City of Chandler is a leader in this change. They teamed up with Via to introduce Chandler Flex, an innovative microtransit service designed to meet the transportation needs of an underserved part of Chandler. This discussion explores the benefits of microtransit, explains the complex technology behind it, and shares lessons learned from Chandler Flex. Let’s dive into the future of city travel, where technology, accessibility, and innovation come together to create a more inclusive transportation story.

- In response to evolving cities, shifting demographics, and budgetary constraints, public transit agencies and cities are deploying on-demand microtransit to provide more user-friendly, flexible, and efficient trips. And perhaps most importantly, microtransit service zones and algorithmic parameters can be designed to serve specific needs and demographics that might otherwise be left out of the traditional public transit system.
- City of Chandler has partnered with Via to provide Chandler Flex - a new microtransit service for an underserved area of Chandler.
- This session will discuss the benefits of microtransit, the nuts and bolts of this new technology, and the background and lessons learned from the new Chandler Flex service.
