We’re pleased to announce the launch of a new WeDriveU shuttle program for tenants at Stanford Research Park in Palo Alto, CA – home to over 150 companies ranging from startups to Fortune 500 companies. WeDriveU provides program strategy, technology, experienced management and Residential Bus Service.

Transportation is a premium amenity at this 700-acre R&D park. Stanford Research Park promotes commute alternatives (shuttles, transit, carpool, vanpool and biking) to reduce traffic congestion, improve air quality and increase commuter satisfaction.

This WeDriveU program highlights creative shared mobility models that enable managed properties to structure and fund shuttles (learn more in this post).

“The Stanford Research Park commuter bus operated by WeDriveU provides an attractive alternative to solo driving from San Francisco,” added Jamie Jarvis, Stanford Research Park Transportation Manager. “Stanford is pleased to partner with our tenant companies to offer effective and efficient commuter service.”
