August Service Launches
??? Transforming On-Demand Transportation in Bay County with Spare and Uber! ?
Bay County’s Bayway On Demand+ service, powered by Spare and Uber, has revolutionized transportation in Bay County region. Since transitioning the service to Spare in March 2024, this fully eligibility-based program complements Bay County’s other transit programs and provides convenient, accessible transportation solutions for residents.?
Before Spare Engage, Bayway’s eligibility operations were manual and paper-based, making it difficult to track applications and sync data across systems and services.
Now, Bayway On Demand+ can embrace a fully paperlesss process, giving their riders a modern, self-serve experience that prioritizes accessibility and efficiency for new applicants and riders alike. ??
