MicroCAT launches in Charlottesville

I was excited to have been part of the MicroCAT Launch Event in Charlottesville (Virginia) on October 30,  2023.   I'm an independent contractor driving for them, and was invited to present the service to the media from the driver's perspective.

Three Charlottesville TV and radio reporters came for a ride-along, resulting in some good coverage of the fare-fee service designed to increase access to public transit in areas not served by fixed-route bus lines, in the Pantops and US-29 North corridor.

Here are some Print Media stories about the launch of the MicroCAT service:

• The Daily Progress

• Information Charlottesville

• Mass Transit Magazine

• C-ville Weekly Magazine
