Optimize Transit Service — From Paratransit Trips to Microtransit Planning
Upgrade Performance Without Replacing Your Core Systems
NDSP Optimization — Smarter Paratransit Trip Assignment
Maximize your Non-Dedicated Service Providers (NDSPs) to increase paratransit productivity and reduce costs. AlphaRoute’s NDSP Optimization improves efficiency by up to 53% and saves millions annually, while also improving rider satisfaction.
Why NDSPs Matter in Paratransit
NDSPs, such as taxis and transportation network companies, are essential to drive efficiency for riders with disabilities or mobility challenges. They enable same-day service, shorten wait times, reduce cost-per-trip and expand coverage.
Without the right trip assignment software, NDSP programs often cost more than necessary and do not achieve desired efficiency gains.

Driver Shift Optimization — Data-driven Run Cut Designs
Uses historical trip data and predictive algorithms to design efficient driver schedules that align with demand, labor rules, breaks, and driver preferences. Perfect for:
- Service Planning — align resources with predicted demand
- Scheduling — reduce service hours and vehicles needed
- Day-of-Service Adjustments — adapt in real time to disruptions
Key features:
- Evaluates every service day, including holidays and special events
- Tests millions of shift combinations in minutes
- Generates optimized “Run Cut Design” with weekly schedules and start/end times
Microtransit Planner API — Strategic Fleet & Driver Shift Design
Once your agency has completed a microtransit demand study, you can use our Microtransit Planner API — independently of any scheduling or dispatch software provider — to plan the most efficient service possible.
This AI-powered tool helps you:
- Simulate different operational models to see what works best
- Determine the ideal fleet size and vehicle mix
- Calculate the optimal number of drivers and their shift schedules
By keeping planning separate, you avoid conflicts of interest and ensure truly data-driven microtransit fleet optimization that balances rider needs with cost efficiency.
