# Via developer docs --- ## REST APIs ---

Rider management

ViaAPI registers new riders to Via and tags them with all relevant transit information, such as eligibility for the service or wheelchair access. If you need details about a rider, you can get all the info in one call.

Booking and rides

Empower your app with ViaAPI to find and book rides through Via. Riders can get proposals for Via rides – for now or for the future, single rides or a series. After they find the ride they need, they book it and receive status updates – all in your app.

Fleet management

Let Via manage your fleet with its fleet management API gateway. Manage routes, update stops, and handle driver shifts – all in one API service. The Fleet Management API manages routes and driver shifts for autonomous vehicles (AV) and for traditional fleets.
