Known for its commitment to sustainability and infrastructure innovation, the city operates dial-a-ride and microtransit services managed by PCAM, striving to provide equitable and efficient transportation for all.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <strong>16-vehicle on-demand pilot service<\/strong>, which includes 15 shuttle vehicles and one shared with La Habra Heights, will deliver responsive dial-a-ride service in English and Spanish. Service is anticipated to launch early spring 2025. The pilot aims to enhance mobility solutions for the city\u2019s residents, while aligning with Whittier&#8217;s long-term transportation and sustainability goals in its 2021-2040 Envision Whittier General Plan, which outlines significant investments in mobility and infrastructure.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After successful completion of the six-month pilot, <strong>PCAM has the option to extend service for an additional three years<\/strong>. With potential scalability across PCAM\u2019s broader Metro Los Angeles operations, this collaboration underscores TRC&#8217;s commitment to empowering transit agencies with scalable, efficient, responsive, and equitable solutions.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;The City of Whittier and PCAM&#8217;s vision for transformative and accessible transit perfectly aligns with TRC\u2019s mission to deliver innovation, efficiency, and unmatched support to agencies and their communities,\u201d said <strong>James Cox<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer, TRC. \u201cThis partnership demonstrates the strength of our Pingo platform and its ability to adapt to the unique needs of both urban and suburban settings. We\u2019re proud to be a part of Whittier&#8217;s mobility journey, and look forward to helping the city achieve its long-term goals of sustainable, multimodal transit.&#8221;\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;Accessible and responsive transit plays a vital role in enhancing the quality of life for our residents while fostering a robust local economy. This partnership directly supports Whittier\u2019s 2021-2040 Envision Whittier General Plan by enabling a connected, responsive, and multimodal transportation system,\u201d said <strong>Brian Saeki<\/strong>, City Manager of Whittier.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On-demand vehicle routing and management platform The Routing Company is entering a new partnership in Southern California, jointly with the City of Whittier and its transit operator, the Parking Company of America.
