RIDES is a curb-to-curb subsidized program that allows eligible customers and participating agencies to purchase transportation services at a significant discount. The customer/agency pays 40% of the total trip cost.
Each Customer May Select From Three Levels of Service:
Shared Ride This non-metered program in which passengers share rides with other passengers requires advance reservations. Of the two, this is the most economical for trips over 12 miles. The cost is based on the mileage distance from the point of pick-up to the destination. The price will range from $6.00 to $42.00, with the customer paying only 40% of this cost. Trips must be booked a minimum of 24 hours in advance.
Taxi Service The cost of this metered same-day service is based on the rate of the meter fare box. Customers may take a one-way trip – the customer pays 40% of the trip cost. With this service, rides are dispatched on the same day as the request. Trips can be booked 60 minutes in advance.
Uber A type of on-demand rideshare that offers the same 60 percent Rides subsidy using the Uber APP. Uber Voucher terms and conditions apply. Special opt-in documents are required. Call 713-368-7433 to register and for more information.
