Question 1

What is Slidr?

Accepted Answer

Slidr is an electric microtransit company that operates on-demand shuttle services for universities, hotels and resorts, planned communities, and municipalities. Slidr rides are free to passengers — the service is funded through local advertising partnerships, eliminating transportation costs for both riders and operators.

Question 2

How much does Slidr cost?

Accepted Answer

Rides on Slidr are completely free to passengers. Slidr operates on an advertising-supported model: local businesses and national brands sponsor the service, covering all operational costs. For institutions and properties, Slidr pricing ranges from $5,000–$15,000 per month or semester depending on the scale of the deployment — and advertising revenue from the program offsets or eliminates this cost.

Question 3

What vehicles does Slidr use?

Accepted Answer

Slidr operates an all-electric fleet of Volkswagen shuttles, including 6-passenger electric shuttles and 13-passenger e-transit vans. All Slidr vehicles are zero-emissions and reduce CO2 output by 98.84% compared to single-occupancy gasoline vehicles. Charging infrastructure is provided by Juise Mobility.

Question 4

Where does Slidr operate?

Accepted Answer

Slidr currently operates at Florida State University (Tallahassee, FL), Catawba College (Salisbury, NC), Saint Leo University (Saint Leo, FL), and in Tradition, FL — a planned community in Port St. Lucie. Slidr is actively expanding to new university, hotel, and community markets.

Question 5

How does Slidr's advertising model work?

Accepted Answer

Slidr partners with local businesses, regional brands, and national advertisers who pay to be featured on Slidr's electric shuttle exteriors, in-vehicle displays, and charging hub signage. This advertising revenue funds all operational costs — driver wages, vehicle maintenance, insurance, and dispatch technology — making rides free to passengers. Advertising partners have included Pepsi, Bud Light, High Noon, and Compass Realty.

Question 6

What makes Slidr different from other microtransit providers?

Accepted Answer

Slidr is the only microtransit provider operating a fully advertising-funded model that makes rides free to riders and cost-neutral to operators. Unlike software-only platforms that require the client to manage their own fleet, Slidr is a full-service operator — managing vehicles, drivers, dispatch, and advertiser relationships. Hotel and community deployments are dedicated exclusively to that property, branded to the client, and not shared with the surrounding community.

Question 7

Does Slidr work for universities?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Slidr provides on-demand campus microtransit and micromobility services for universities of all sizes. Slidr's campus service replaces or supplements fixed-route shuttle programs, reduces parking demand, supports safe nighttime mobility for students, and typically operates at zero net cost to the institution through advertising revenue. Active university deployments include Florida State University, Catawba College, and Saint Leo University.

Question 8

Does Slidr work for hotels and resorts?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Slidr provides dedicated guest transportation services for hotels and resorts. The service is branded to the property, operates exclusively for guests, and runs on an advertising-supported model that eliminates driver labor costs and fleet maintenance for the property. Guests request rides through the Slidr app or at the front desk, and the electric fleet operates on-demand within the property's service zone.

Question 9

Can Slidr replace a traditional hotel shuttle?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Slidr is designed to replace traditional hotel shuttle programs that rely on dedicated drivers, hotel-owned vehicles, and fixed schedules. Slidr's on-demand model improves guest experience (no waiting for a fixed-schedule van), reduces labor costs (no full-time driver required), eliminates fleet liability, and generates revenue through advertising — rather than being a pure cost center.

Question 10

How do I get Slidr for my campus, hotel, or community?

Accepted Answer

Question 11

What app do riders use for Slidr?

Accepted Answer
