Spare is the AI-powered mobility operations platform. Our mission is to make every ride possible, regardless of who you are or where you’re headed.

Our vision for the future of transportation

Public/Private Cooperation – Riders benefit when public and private transportation service providers can co-exist and thrive.
Technology innovation enables profitable transportation – The technology surrounding mobility will continue to improve, which will further accelerate the growth of efficient and profitable transportation.
Widespread use of on-demand shared transportation – As shared on-demand transit becomes more cost effective, more people will give up their personal vehicles in favor of the on-demand option.
