A smart city serves ALL of its citizens

A smart city uses information and communications technology to enhance its livability, workability, and sustainability – for all of its citizens. That includes the aging and people with disabilities.

The number of people 65 and older in the United States is increasing by 10,000 people/day and is expected to grow to 55 million in 2020. And, more than 50 percent of non-drivers over age 65 do not leave home primarily because of a lack of transportation options.

But public transportation is very costly. The combination of an increasing population of elderly and people with disabliities is placing a strain on existing transportation infrastructure. Yet, municipalities must provide solutions for all of its citizens to get around.

 

UZURV is the smart transportation solution

Efficient and effective transportation is vital to the success and economic development of a Smart City. Current special transportation solutions are outdated and are not properly serving the populations they were meant to serve.

The UZURV solution is a public + private partnership that benefits riders and municipalities. Our smart cities technology taps into the vast TNC resources to fill in the gaps of current municipal transit authority programs. With UZURV, riders see a complete list of driver profiles and vehicle information from which they can choose to meet their specific needs.

We can meet the requirements of any contract

UZURV’s unique ability to tap into the rideshare resource and customize it to meet the standards of compliance makes us uniquely positioned to provide bundled ADA-compliant and same day transport options, including on-demand scheduling and dispatching.

UZURV’s smart city solution launched in Richmond, Virginia August 2017 and will launch in Nashville, Tennessee February 2018.
