From paratransit trip assignments to driver shift scheduling and microtransit service planning, our solutions accelerate results whether you keep your current systems or prepare for a technology transition.Our AI transit solutions operate independently or integrate seamlessly with your existing transportation management software, delivering measurable results without disruptive system changes.

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 Paratransitparatransit

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.
