    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to systems, non-transitory computer-readable media, and methods for identifying provider devices and corresponding vehicles as candidates to transport time-sensitive (or otherwise prioritized) requestors and providing prioritized transportation options as fast passes for display on such requestors' devices. To provide such a prioritized transportation option, the disclosed systems can identify provider devices either matched or unmatched with requestors as candidates for prioritized transport based on estimated times of arrivals (ETAs) of vehicles for the candidate provider devices at the requestor's pickup location. Based on the ETAs at the pickup location, the disclosed systems can select a closest provider device from among the candidate provider devices to transport a prioritized requestor. After matching the prioritized requestor to the closest provider device, the disclosed systems can further search for providers with sooner ETAs.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes a request distribution system that can intelligently distribute transportation requests to provider devices to improve transportation system network coverage and efficiency. For example, the disclosed systems can identify a transportation request corresponding to a first transportation mode and analyze multiple limited-eligibility provider devices having various modes as potential recipients for the transportation request. In some embodiments, the disclosed systems can further determine an expected change in network coverage time associated with providing the transportation request to a first provider device corresponding to the first transportation mode versus a second provider device corresponding to a second transportation mode. The disclosed systems can provide the transportation request to the second provider device corresponding to the second transportation mode according to the expected change in network coverage time and/or other transportation request metrics.
