For transit teams
The gray area around TNC partnerships just got smaller.
For years, agencies have been building TNC–transit partnerships carefully, cautiously, and often around compliance constraints that were never fully resolved.
That's now changing. The BUILD America 250 Act clears the compliance hurdles that kept many agencies from committing to Uber and Lyft, gives agencies more flexibility over how they size and run their dedicated fleets, and sets an $87.5 billion funding backdrop through 2031.
It's a good time to explore Open Fleets.
Spare Open Fleets lets agencies tap Uber, Lyft, and local providers to extend coverage, handle overflow, and serve riders 24/7 — without growing your fleet.
