Signing up for LiNK Cedar Park is quick and easy.
LiNK Cedar Park supports the City Council’s strategic priorities for mobility and connectivity and reflects recommendations outlined in the City’s Mobility Master Plan. Community input gathered during the 2020 Transit Study and the Mobility Master Plan highlighted interest in flexible, on-demand transportation options that can better connect people to destinations within Cedar Park and the broader region through the CapMetro station at Lakeline.
LiNK Cedar Park represents a modern approach to public transportation. The pilot program is a partnership between the City of Cedar Park and TRIPPP Consulting, working in collaboration with Uber for rideshare service and zTrip for Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAV). Together, these partners will help provide flexible transportation options that serve a wide range of mobility needs across the community.
Through the program, eligible rideshare users will receive one Uber voucher with 10 rideshare trips per month. Riders pay the first $5 per trip, and the City-sponsored program covers up to $10 of the trip cost, with riders responsible for any remaining amount beyond the first $15. Riders who require Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles through zTrip will also pay the first $5 per trip, and these rides are not currently capped on the number of monthly trips.
Whether you need a ride to run errands, make shopping trips, or a lift to a program or event within the City, LiNK Cedar Park will help keep our community connected.

Swim Smart, Protect Our Wildlife
As swimming season approaches, ensure your pool maintenance is safe for our creeks and wildlife!
Don't drain chlorinated or chemically treated water into storm drains; it can harm water quality. Discharge it to a vegetated area on your property, ensuring no runoff or damage to plants while being respectful of neighbors.
Using the storm drains for pool maintenance is only allowed if the water is free of pollutants and dechlorinated first. Direct hose connection to the storm drain system is prohibited.
Let's have a fun and safe swimming season, Cedar Park!
