City staff introduced Field Trips, the new on‑demand micro‑transit service operated with Via, describing safety measures (AI cameras, driver vetting), service metrics and ridership growth. Presenters said the service launched in July, has provided over 70,000 rides and about 1,500 unique riders, averages 4.2 riders per vehicle hour, charges $2 per trip (reduced to $1 for seniors/disabled), and reported 88% app adoption; commissioners pressed about month‑over‑month growth, hours of service and accessibility.
