Phoenix Teknologies Workforce Transportation Is Now Open

Whether your transportation is sponsored by an employer, an agency partner, or paid directly by you, Phoenix Teknologies is committed to helping people reach work, job interviews, workforce training, apprenticeships, internships, colleges, universities, and other approved employment-related destinations.

Multilingual digital access available — English & Spanish

Important Transportation Scheduling Information

Phoenix Teknologies Administrative Business Hours: 9:00 AM–5:00 PM, Monday–Friday.

Transportation operates 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, including nights, weekends, and holidays. However, transportation manifests and ride requests are processed during administrative business hours.

Ride requests submitted after 5:00 PM will be reviewed for manifest placement on the next business day. Please schedule transportation in advance to avoid delays.

Sponsored Riders

If your sponsoring agency pays only a portion of your transportation cost, your required rider portion must be paid before your ride can be financially cleared and scheduled for transportation.

Submitting a ride request does not guarantee that transportation has been confirmed.

Workforce Transportation With Community Impact

Reliable Transportation.
Stronger Workforce.

"Transportation should never be the reason an employee misses an opportunity."

Employers may enroll in Workforce Transportation Partnerships to provide reliable transportation for their employees. Community organizations, workforce development agencies, nonprofits, educational institutions, and government agencies may also partner with Phoenix Teknologies to help remove transportation barriers for the individuals they serve.

Employees and riders may travel through participating employer or agency partnerships, or simply book rides directly as self-pay customers within our approved service areas.

Phoenix Teknologies is designed for individuals traveling to and from work, workforce training, apprenticeships, job interviews, internships, colleges, universities, and other approved employment-related destinations.

Transportation Waitlist Now Active

Due to overwhelming demand for workforce transportation and our commitment to providing reliable service to our existing riders, Phoenix Teknologies is currently operating a waitlist for new individual riders.

If you need reliable transportation to and from work, we encourage you to join our transportation waitlist. As transportation slots become available and driver capacity expands, Phoenix Teknologies will contact waitlisted individuals with information about completing enrollment.

Joining the waitlist does not guarantee immediate transportation, does not reserve a ride, and does not mean transportation has been approved or scheduled.
