Cedar Park Residents Are On The Move
Hear from Treasure of the Hills Board President, Ellen Fannin, about her experience with the new LiNK microtransit pilot program in the City of Cedar Park and how the members of TOTH are excited to utilize the service.
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 a medical appointment, a quick trip across town, or a connection to Austin's regional transit network, LiNK has you covered, including direct service to CapMetro's Lakeline Station.
