University OnDemand
Emory University | Atlanta, GA
With its educational facilities and healthcare system, Emory is the second largest employer in Atlanta, Georgia. Making 3 million trips annually, with 52 vehicles, their transit services are available to over 55,000 healthcare workers, students, and university employees. Emory partnered with TransLoc’s Planning & Design team to review five existing fixed routes and provide recommendations to reduce operational costs without sacrificing campus mobility or rider experience.

We can serve more people with fewer vehicles, putting resources out there where they're most needed and providing that right level of mobility for everyone.
