MARTA is set to deploy more than a dozen on-demand shuttles as part of a new pilot program.

The new program is called MARTA Reach and it will let customers in certain underserved areas of metro Atlanta use a mobile app to hail a shuttle to get them a little closer to their destination, taking them to a bus stop or train station.

Channel Wilson will be driving one of the new vehicles.
