Systems and methods for coordinating multimodal transportation services are provided. An example computer-implemented method includes obtaining a service request for a vehicle service indicating an origin location and a destination location. The method includes determining a route from the origin location to the destination location. The method includes segmenting the route into a plurality of route segments, each of which comprise a first route segment that is traversable by an autonomous vehicle and a second route segment that is traversable by a light electric vehicle. The method includes determining an autonomous vehicle to provide the vehicle service along the first route segment. The method includes determining a light electric vehicle to provide the vehicle service along the second route segment and to accompany the autonomous vehicle along at least a portion of the first route segment. The method includes outputting data associated with the service request for the autonomous vehicle.
