Livonia continues to provide transformational leadership in bringing our hometown to the way we look at transportation, not only for our seniors but also to help people get to work and students get to classes.
Livonia’s transportation services launched a huge upgrade today, transforming from Livonia Community Transit to the newly rebranded Liv&Go.
More than just a name change, Liv&Go provides users with a new routing system, powered by Via, that allows residents to book ride appointments, track their rides in real-time, and make payments all on their smartphone. Cash payment options will remain available for those who prefer.
“This new application will allow us to better serve our riders and allow our riders to have a closer connection with when their transportation will arrive,” Program Supervisor Felicia Cross said. “They will be able to schedule, track, and pay for their rides all in one spot.”
Liv&Go will continue to help Livonia’s elderly and people with disabilities but expands to assist in getting workers to their jobs and students to classes. This opens opportunities for people who don’t drive.
“This service to our residents is so important. We want to make sure everyone can not only get to a medical appointment but also to their job or a class they may be taking,” Mayor Maureen Miller Brosnan said. “It’s important to be able to get people where they need to go when they need to get there, and the new Liv&Go app will help make that happen.”
Fixed routes will continue, but an Uber-like system has now been added to allow residents to get a ride when they need it.
Liv&Go shuttles run 7 a.m. to 6:30 p.m. Monday-Friday throughout the year, excluding holidays.
