Key people at VIA Networks.
Via Transportation develops digital platforms optimizing public mobility by transforming traditional systems into efficient networks. Its core offering is an end-to-end platform enabling on-demand public transit, paratransit, and school transportation. The company leverages sophisticated algorithms to pool riders and optimize routes in real-time, enhancing accessibility and operational efficiency.
Via was co-founded in June 2012 by Daniel Ramot and Oren Shoval. Their insight leveraged advanced technology and data science to improve public transit efficiency and accessibility. Ramot, with a Ph.D. in neuroscience from Stanford, and Shoval, holding a Ph.D. in systems biology, established the company's analytical foundation for complex mobility challenges.
The company primarily serves cities, transit agencies, and school districts, equipping them to manage responsive, digitally-powered transportation networks. Via aims to revolutionize global public transportation, offering adaptable solutions for evolving urban and suburban mobility needs. Its vision is to establish efficient, equitable transit options in communities worldwide.
