Cloud & DevOps Engineer

About UZURV

We believe mobility independence is for everyone. UZURV is a high growth national assisted community mobility and technology business. We’ve been very successful growing the business with public transit agencies to improve ADA paratransit service across the country. Our first program was here in Richmond with GRTC and began in 2017, but we’ve grown and grown, now providing millions and millions of trips a year in 18+ states and working with 10 of the largest 20 public transit agencies in the country by their ADA paratransit ride volume. It’s not by accident. We’ve grown, because of the quality of our service. UZURV’s riders and drivers rate the company extremely highly in satisfaction. We also save our clients often 30-50% on the cost of transportation for people with disabilities and older adults who need assistance.
