METRO's Executive Editor Alex Roman sat down with Erick Van Wagenen, president and CEO of WeDriveU, for a candid discussion about the company’s evolving mission and more. The Role of Contractors and MoreWhat do you see as WeDriveU’s core value to the transit industry, and what role should contractors play in helping agencies provide dependable mobility? Because of our position in both public and private sectors, we can pilot and scale new technologies more rapidly than traditional transit agencies. When agencies bring in contractors, they’re not just outsourcing operations but tapping into a broader knowledge base, says WeDrvieU President/CEO Erick Van Wagenen. Erick Van Wagenen says WeDriveU is not a tech company, so they will rely on strong partnerships with its partners, the communities they serve, and the industry in general.
