CharterUP targets campus mobility and autonomous driving opportunities, says VP New Mobility Stephen Joos - Sustainable Bus

"There are about 4,000 universities in the US, and every single one needs to move students. Right now, around 1,200 universities use CharterUP in some way or another. There's a lot of space for growth, then. Campuses are clearly defined, sometimes even private, which makes everything easier. And typically, transportation is managed by a small staff, or just one person, with a huge responsibility: moving large numbers of students every day, dealing with breakdowns, managing assets etc. So we believe this is an area where we can add significant value. When we talk about 10x growth, campuses are a very exciting opportunity for us."

"U.S.-based group transportation technology company CharterUP, operating through a network of more than 700 operator partners and over 10,000 vehicles across North America, is active in both on-demand charter services and recurring shuttle operations, while also investing in autonomous mobility initiatives."

"Founded eight years ago, the company says it covered more than 12 million miles and transported 6 million passengers in 2024, leveraging an asset-light model built around its Transit Intelligence platform for dispatching, vehicle tracking and route management."
