3 vendors responded to the Village Request for Information - Ride Sharing Services. Here are the companies and their responses (links to download and view)

Three Ride Sharing companies responded to the Village Request for Information - RFI# 1819-11-009 - Ride Sharing Services. These responses are tools for you (and the Village Council) to use in determining which, if any, on-demand service is best for Palmetto Bay. 

This step is for interested readers to view the materials unfiltered by any outside comments as well as to consider what type of service you, yourself, not others, would use.

Here are the three services that responded with links. The first link (company name) takes you to the company web site. The second link takes you to the actual document, in order to view the actual response/service description:

Freebee (CLICK HERE - 5 pages)- providing service to Pinecrest, Coral Gables, Doral, City of Miami (Coconut Grove), etc.

One Call (CLICK HERE - 9 pages) - I am familiar with their transportation services as a vendor for medical transportation (diversified transport) familiar as part of One Call Medical - serving workers' compensation carriers transporting patients to and from appointments (Their service to Palmetto Bay would NOT be an extension or an overlap of this service). They are in the municipal on-demand transportation service as described on Page three (3) of the response.

Via Transportation Inc. (CLICK HERE - 5 pages). A New York Company. The company bills itself as one of the largest competitors to Uber. You can view Via Transporation's proposed approach for Palmetto Bay on Page 5 of 5.

This all is an interesting reading and I recommend that you study it for yourself, and not simply be told about these services filtered by the manager or elected officials who may have their pre-conceived favorites. Think about this in terms of what would you be most likely to use, not what you or others think should be provided for others. Also, as stated above, these are responses to an advertised request for information. You can use the information provided as a jump off point for additional research on other potential services.  Simply "Google" "Ride Share Services" and you can see there is a vast source of information available on the Internet. 3 responses represent a very small sampling of the types of services and the number of companies that can and would provide on-demand services for Palmetto Bay.

IMPORTANT NOTE - this is not pending request for bids to score and select an actual service provider.  See below. This is a non-binding request for information. The Village of Palmetto Bay, Florida seeks information for ride sharing services. The request is not a commitment on the part of the Village - it is intended solely to gain information from companies providing ride sharing services.
