RideCo and Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) Partner to Transform ADA Paratransit Service in Las Vegas

LAS VEGAS, Oct. 8, 2025 /PRNewswire/ - RideCo, the on-demand transit technology leader serving 5 of the 10 largest cities in the U.S., announced today that it has been awarded a contract with the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada (RTC) to transform its 450+ Vehicle Fleet ADA paratransit service operating throughout Las Vegas and the urbanized area of Clark County. RideCo has been working with RTC since August 2021 on other initiatives, and this contract represents a significant expansion of the partnership.

The modernized paratransit initiative will be powered by RideCo's industry-leading, cloud-based software, driving operational improvements across several key performance indicators including on-time performance and system-wide efficiency improvements such as cost optimization. A streamlined eligibility process, independent booking options through the introduction of a mobile app, transportation network company (TNC) overflow integrations, and enhanced rider communication will improve the end-to-end customer experience. This will support RTC in achieving its goal of enhancing services for paratransit riders, all while effectively managing within fiscal constraints.

"RTC has been a long-standing customer of RideCo. Throughout our partnership, we have seen them continue to raise the bar in how they deliver innovative service for their community," said Prem Gururajan, Co-Founder and CEO, RideCo. "Our team at RideCo is inspired by RTC's leadership as it actively demonstrates what is possible and offers insights into the positive influence a forward-thinking transit agency has on a thriving community."

As Southern Nevada's population continues to increase daily, RTC has identified transportation challenges, exploring both short and long-term resolutions while simultaneously promoting sustainability, enhanced mobility, and increased quality of life in the region.
