Microtransit is tech-enabled shared transportation where routing algorithms use real-time, on-the-ground information to group passengers into shared rides. Routes are dynamic; “schedules” shift based on rider demand; and vehicles range in size from vans to shuttles, or buses, depending on what’s needed for the system.{{Cite web |title=Shared Mobility Definitions |url=https://www.transit.dot.gov/regulations-and-guidance/shared-mobility-definitions |access-date=December 8, 2024 |website=Federal Transit Administration}}
