The University of Alberta’s Medically At-Risk Driver Centre (MARD) is delivering a pilot project to evaluate the value of ride-scheduling software in increasing the efficiency of service delivery and decreasing the costs of alternate transportation for seniors (ATS) service provision. As part of the project, MARD invites applications from non-profit organizations such as senior’s centres and municipalities that deliver ATS services and are interested in participating in the project.
The successful applicant will work with MARD to establish and support the implementation of ride-scheduling software within its ATS service/organization and facilitate evaluation of the software during this pilot project.
