NEORide Accelerates Transit Efficiency with Oracle NetSuite for Government

State-wide public entities can now access the #1 AI cloud ERP solution to improve transparency and drive efficiency

AUSTIN, Texas, Aug. 13, 2025  /PRNewswire/ -- Oracle today announced a new agreement with NEORide, a multi-state alliance of urban, suburban, and rural public transit systems, that makes it faster and easier for 40 public transit entities across 11 states to modernize their operations and gain critical efficiencies with Oracle NetSuite for Government. Built on a secure, AI-enabled cloud infrastructure, NetSuite for Government delivers a single, unified system that helps small-to-midsize state and local agencies streamline accounting, grants management, payroll, budgeting, and human resources.

Founded in 2014, NEORide brings together transit agencies across Ohio, Arkansas, Kentucky, Michigan, Pennsylvania, Missouri, Iowa, Kansas, Indiana, Tennessee, and West Virginia to coordinate services, pursue joint procurements, and enhance regional mobility through shared innovation and cooperation. Through its agreement with Oracle, NEORide members can now access NetSuite for Government through a streamlined, Federal Transit Administration (FTA)-compliant purchasing process. By partnering with Oracle, NEORide can help its members quickly and easily adopt modern AI-enabled technology that supports transparency, efficiency, and smarter service delivery by eliminating historically complex and time-consuming procurement challenges.

"NEORide is committed to empowering our growing member base with the comprehensive tools and resources they need to enhance all aspects of public transit services," said Katherine Conrad, Executive Director, NEORide.

Fast-tracking process efficiency
With NetSuite for Government, NEORide members can take advantage of AI-powered, flexible workflow tools to reduce manual tasks and implement more efficient processes that improve transparency and free up employees to focus on higher-value work. For example, finance teams can easily produce forecasts, model what-if scenarios, and generate reports using a single, unified solution. In addition, with access to real-time data from across their operations, members can quickly adjust budgets in response to shifting economic conditions or legislative mandates; leverage general ledger insights to keep accounts accurate and balanced; and accelerate reporting with pre-built templates and intelligent analytics.

"Government agencies need a straightforward and trustworthy path to transformative, secure technology that empowers them to efficiently serve their communities' core service needs," said Steve Seoane, senior vice president and general manager, Oracle Local Government. "By teaming with NEORide, we're helping its members eliminate complex government procurement challenges as they move to achieve more with less, emphasizing automation, increased productivity, and better decision-making through AI and a unified platform, so they can focus on providing excellent constituent services."
