Valley Metro launches tool to support multimodal transportation

Valley Metro earlier this week launched a new website and mobile application to help commuters in the Phoenix area plan trips using multimodal transportation options, including light rail.

The platform — developed by RideAmigos — enables riders to log the time savings and distance they travel using alternative modes of transit and plan trips that incorporate real-time travel information.

The platform also offers solutions to help employers promote transportation options to employees, including integration with third-party apps and personalized subsites with commuter engagement tools, Valley Metro officials said in a press release.
