Why do some communities get left behind by public transit - and how can startups fix it? Get ready for a deep dive into public-private partnerships, govtech, and how a mobility startup is tackling “transit deserts” across underserved communities. In this episode, Sherveen sits down with Su Sanni, co-founder and CEO of Dollaride, a mobility company building digital and physical infrastructure for community transit. It's a financial services, SaaS, and IoT platform for small private transit companies in NYC with the ultimate goal to bring clean transportation to underserved communities. They offer solutions like facilitated financing, tools for payments/rides/tracking, and data and insights to help these small biz owners scale in their communities. They've raised $12M from Elemental Impact, Everywhere Ventures, Prehype, and Backstage Capital, and are the recipient of a $10M New York Clean Transportation Prize facilitating their Clean Transit Access Program (CTAP) project in NYC.
