May Mobility has completed over 320,000 autonomy-enabled rides in the past five years, including AV services in Minnesota, Michigan, and Texas.
May Mobility’s Co-founder and CEO, Edwin Olson, stated that partnering with industry leaders is a significant part of the company’s go-to-market strategy. Moovit is a trusted industry leader that serves over 1.7 billion riders globally, and their services and relationships will further enhance May Mobility’s ability to scale.
