PennDOT is convening a Shared Ride Advisory Committee to advise PennDOT as we evaluate alternative shared ride models. The Committee will include representatives from service providers, consumer advocates, the County Commissioners Association, the General Assembly, and executive branch funding agencies including the Departments of Human Services, Aging, Budget, and Transportation.
In spring 2025, PennDOT released the Shared Ride Sustainability Study, which evaluated the shared ride system statewide and made initial recommendations regarding options to fund this service into the future. The study noted that the service is currently operating at a deficit statewide. To date, state, federal, and local funds have been used to balance agency shared ride budgets
