Since 1994, as a nonprofit, we have used a social enterprise business model that leverages earned-income transit service contracts to diversify our revenue sources. This approach enhances our effectiveness and creates robust revenue streams to support Via’s Founding Mission Services without relying solely on donations and grants. </span></p> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Via partners with a variety of agencies, city governments, and organizations to fill in transportation gaps and expand options for Coloradans throughout the state. Whether serving urban or rural areas, we help residents of all abilities get where they need to go while lessening impacts on the environment. As a private nonprofit, we are nimble and can respond quickly to transportation needs.</span></p> <div class="spacer" style="height: 40px"></div> <h2><span style="font-weight: 400;">Via-Operated Transit Services</span></h2> <h4><img decoding="async" class="wp-image-10358 alignright" src="https://viacolorado.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Lyons-Photo-1000x1000.png" sizes="(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px" srcset="https://viacolorado.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Lyons-Photo-1000x1000.png 1000w, https://viacolorado.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Lyons-Photo-300x300.png 300w, https://viacolorado.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Lyons-Photo-768x768.png 768w, https://viacolorado.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Lyons-Photo-125x125.png 125w, https://viacolorado.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/Lyons-Photo.png 1350w" alt="" width="400" height="400" /></h4> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Via Mobility Services currently operates several transportation services under contract with Colorado businesses and municipalities. At the heart of this sustainable wheel are our two primary earned-income contracts – the City of Boulder’s HOP public bus and RTD’s FlexRide. These projects foster financial health and incubate a growth-oriented landscape for our Founding Mission Services (<a href="https://viacolorado.org/services/via-paratransit/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Via Paratransit</a> and <a href="https://viacolorado.org/mobility-options/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Mobility Options</a>).
