What turnkey microtransit actually means

"Turnkey" gets used loosely. For Slidr it means something specific: you sign one agreement, and a finished, branded ride program shows up, ready to run.

Most organizations that want an on-demand shuttle quickly discover how many moving parts there are. You need vehicles that are street-legal and electric. You need drivers who are trained, insured, and reliable. You need software for booking and dispatch, a way to keep vehicles charged and maintained, and reporting to show it's working. Buying and stitching all of that together is a project most teams don't have the time for.

One agreement, five problems solved

Slidr collapses that complexity into a single managed-service agreement. We deploy the wrapped vehicles, hire and manage the W-2 drivers, run the branded rider app and real-time dispatch, handle charging and maintenance, and carry the insurance and reporting. Your team approves the brand and the service area. We do the rest.

Branded as yours, powered by us

The program leads with your name. Riders see your campus, hotel, or community on the vehicle and in the app. The technology that runs it stays in the background. That distinction matters: a courtesy shuttle that feels like a third-party taxi never becomes part of your brand, but one that looks and feels like yours does.

Live in about 45 days

From a signed agreement to apps in the store, a typical Slidr launch takes around 45 to 60 days. That includes a kickoff, software delivery, a two-week testing period, fleet deployment, and app store submission. By launch day, the only thing your team has done is tell us how your place moves.
