POMONA VALLEY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY

What POMONA VALLEY TRANSPORTATION AUTHORITY does

Pomona Valley Transportation Authority (PVTA) is a California joint powers authority that provides community transportation programs for the cities of Claremont, La Verne, Pomona, and San Dimas. Established in 1985 and headquartered at 2120 Foothill Blvd. #116 in La Verne, PVTA operates six demand-response service programs: Get About, Ready Now, Claremont Dial-a-Ride, San Dimas Dial-a-Cab, Claremont Group Service, and Pomona Group Service. These programs deliver on-demand, door-to-door transportation primarily to seniors, older adults, individuals with disabilities, and the general public across the four-city service area.

PVTA is funded through a combination of passenger fares, federal and state transportation grants, and local government contributions from its member cities, and it operates under mandated Title VI civil rights compliance and a Reasonable Modification Policy. Its technology stack is modest and largely outsourced: GTFS data is created and edited in GTFS Manager (Trillium Solutions), trip planning is powered by the Google Transit Trip Planner, map tiles come from OpenStreetMap, and HTML timetables are generated via the open-source GTFS-to-HTML tool from BlinkTag. In February 2026, PVTA expanded its digital surface by launching the Ride PVTA mobile application on iOS and Android.

The organization has 1-10 employees and is governed by public board oversight with regular public hearings and community surveys (available in English and Spanish). In April 2026, PVTA issued a Request for Information soliciting qualified contract transportation providers for Dial-a-Ride and door-to-door demand response, signaling potential evolution in its operating model toward contracted service delivery within its existing four-city footprint.

Scale indicators1 record

Recent moves4 records

Expansion highlights3 records

Emerging players

• GoGoGrandparent: GoGoGrandparent provides on-demand senior rides by brokering Uber/Lyft with caregiver oversight, targeting the same senior mobility segment as PVTA's Dial-a-Ride. It is an emerging private-sector alternative competing for the same riders, especially digitally capable older adults.

Broad incumbents

• Modivcare: Modivcare is a large national broker of non-emergency medical transportation (NEMT) and paratransit services. Comparable as an incumbent operating demand-response transportation for Medicaid and senior populations at scale, and a potential contractor for PVTA's RFI procurement.
• Uber WAV: Uber WAV (Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles) offers app-based accessible ride-hailing in major California metros including parts of the Pomona Valley. Comparable as an on-demand accessible transportation option that competes for PVTA's general-public and ADA rider base.
• LA Metro: LA Metro is the regional transportation planner and operator for Los Angeles County and overlaps with PVTA's service area through the Foothill Gold Line. It is the broad incumbent in the larger ecosystem and funds / coordinates with paratransit providers like Access Services that complement PVTA's offerings.

Direct peers

• VIA Metropolitan Transit: VIA Metropolitan Transit operates public bus and paratransit (VIA Link) services in the San Antonio region. Comparable as a public transit authority operating demand-response transit for seniors and people with disabilities, useful as a structural / governance benchmark for a JPA-style entity.
• Access Services (Los Angeles County): Access Services is the ADA paratransit provider for Los Angeles County, serving elderly and disabled riders with demand-response transportation. It is a directly comparable peer in terms of mission, rider segment, and operational model (Dial-a-Ride style service).

Regional players

• Riverside Transit Agency: Riverside Transit Agency provides fixed-route and Dial-a-Ride services in western Riverside County. Comparable as a public transit authority with demand-response programs targeting seniors and people with disabilities, sharing California's paratransit regulatory environment.
• Omnitrans: Omnitrans operates fixed-route and paratransit (Access OMNIRIDE) services across San Bernardino County, immediately adjacent to PVTA's Pomona Valley territory. Comparable as a public transit authority with parallel demand-response and accessible-transit programs.
• Foothill Transit: Foothill Transit is a public bus operator serving the San Gabriel and Pomona Valleys, including La Verne, Claremont, and Pomona — overlapping directly with PVTA's service area. It is a relevant adjacent regional peer offering fixed-route transit where PVTA provides demand-response, often acting as the first/last-mile complement.

Others

• Trillium Solutions, Inc. Trillium is PVTA's website/GTFS technology partner (per Site Credits), providing transit-agency software, GTFS Manager, and hosting. It is an OTHERS-tier ecosystem participant — a vendor rather than a competitor — but materially relevant given its role enabling PVTA's digital infrastructure.
