The new changes are part of Trinity Metro’s vision for a future of tech-enabled public transportation network through its recently expanded contract with TransitTech company Via. New users can download the Trinity Metro On-Demand app (available in the App Store and Google Play) or call 817-215-8600 to book a shared ride. 

“Via is proud to continue our work with Trinity Metro to double down on our shared vision for tech-enabled, rider-centric public transportation,” said Alex Lavoie, co-COO at Via. “Together, we are reimagining transit in Tarrant County to be more resilient and accessible – a crucial step to helping this community pace with population growth and evolving needs.”
