Cedar Park is on the Move

The City of Cedar Park is preparing to launch LiNK Cedar Park, a new microtransit pilot program designed to make getting around the community easier, more affordable, and more accessible for residents, workers, and visitors.

This City-sponsored program 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 across Cedar Park and the broader region.

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, enrolled 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 the shopping trips, medical appointments and treatments, or a lift to a program or event within the City without having to worry about parking, LiNK Cedar Park will help keep our community connected.

Once the pilot launches, the City will monitor ridership data, demand, and service performance throughout the program to evaluate outcomes and determine whether microtransit could serve as a long-term transportation solution for Cedar Park.

More details on how to tap, call, and ride will be shared soon, before the official launch in April. Stay tuned for updates as LiNK Cedar Park prepares to roll out.
