Shenango Valley Shuttle Service Launches Mobile Fare Collection Platform, RideSVSS, on June 16
Riders can now use a free app to purchase fares and validate their trip by scanning a QR code onboard. While the mobile system marks a major step forward in transit modernization for the region, cash payments will still be accepted on all Shenango Valley Shuttle Service routes to offer riders flexible payment options.
Standard one-way fares remain $1.25. A new One-Day Pass is also available for riders who plan to make multiple trips in a single day. One-Day passes must be purchased through the app or at the customer service center located at 2495 Highland Rd. Hermitage, PA.
'Our goal is to ensure we're serving the needs of the Mercer County and Shenango Valley communities as they evolve,' said Jill Boozer, Executive Director of the Mercer County Regional COG. 'By introducing new technology, we're not only making transit more convenient but also opening the door to future improvements that reflect how people live and travel today.'
Key features of the new system include:
Mobile App: Riders can download the app for Apple or Android devices, enabling fare payment and QR-code ride validation directly from their smartphones. The app is available now to download in both Apple and Google Play Stores:
iOS: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/ride-svss/id6742326077
Android: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.modeshift.mercer
One-Day Pass Option: A new pass type designed for added convenience and value for riders making multiple trips in a day.
Web Portal: Riders can take advantage of RideSVSS' features through a convenient online portal that streamlines fare purchases and trip planning.
Visit www.ridesvss.mcrcog.com/go-mobile for more details.
Smart Pay Account: Custom profiles to manage travel, view past purchases, buy passes and add funds to smart cards or digital wallets.
Smart Cards: For riders who prefer not to use their phones, reloadable smart cards connected to e-wallets offer an easy, tap-and-go alternative.
Data-Driven Planning: The digital platform provides real-time usage insights to help inform future service changes and improvements.
'This launch is about more than just going digital, it's about laying the foundation for a transit system that's responsive, forward-looking, and easier to use,' said Miroslav Katsarov, CEO of Modeshift. 'Shenango Valley is joining a growing movement of agencies using modern fare collection to connect more meaningfully with the communities they serve.'
The new digital platform does not apply to the Mercer County Community Transit, which continues to operate separately. The shuttle currently operates four fixed routes, Monday through Friday 8:00 am- 5:00 pm, and two on Saturday 8:00 am- 4:00 pm, excluding Sundays and select holidays.

BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--KB Home (NYSE: KBH), one of the largest and most trusted homebuilders in the U.S., today announced the grand opening of Camas Ridge, a new-home community in highly desirable Bothell, Washington, which offers a charming blend of outdoor recreation, local culture and a vibrant downtown scene. The new homes are designed for the way people live today, with popular features like modern kitchens overlooking large great rooms, expansive bedroom suites with walk-in closets, and ample storage space. The community's two-story floor plans feature up to five bedrooms and three-and-a-half baths, with some plans offering a walkout basement. Camas Ridge is zoned for the highly rated Northshore School District and is walking distance to parks. What sets KB Home apart is the company's focus on building strong, personal relationships with every customer, so they have a real partner in the homebuying process. Every KB home is uniquely built for each customer, so no two KB homes are the same. Their home comes to life in the KB Home Design Studio, a one-of-a-kind experience where customers get both expert advice and the opportunity to select from a wide range of design choices that fit their style and their budget. Reflecting the company's commitment to creating an exceptional homebuying experience, KB Home is the #1 customer-ranked national homebuilder based on homebuyer satisfaction surveys from a leading third-party review site. 'We are pleased to offer homebuyers in the Seattle area spacious new two- and three-story homes in the charming town of Bothell,' said Ryan Kemp, President of KB Home's Seattle division. 'Camas Ridge is walking distance to highly rated schools and close to several neighborhood parks, including Park at Bothell Landing and North Creek Forest. Homeowners will also appreciate the proximity to downtown Bothell, which features excellent shopping and dining.

The company's floor plans inspire contemporary living, with a focus on roomy, light-filled spaces that have easy indoor/outdoor flow. KB homes are engineered to be highly energy and water efficient and include features that support healthier indoor environments. They are also designed to be ENERGY STAR ® certified — a standard that fewer than 12% of new homes nationwide meet — offering greater comfort, well-being and utility cost savings than new homes without certification. Camas Ridge is in an ideal location that offers homebuyers an exceptional lifestyle. The community is situated at the corner of Bothell Everett Highway and 13th Avenue Southeast, providing easy access to Interstate 5, Interstate 405, Highway 520, major employment centers in Seattle, Bellevue and Redmond, and the Seattle-Tacoma International Airport.
