A new transportation service for Third Ward residents that aims to enhance their mobility and accessibility to essential services in their area launched at the end of June, according to officials from eco-centric transportation solutions company RYDE.

The details

RYDE partnered with nonprofit Evolve Houston and District D Council Member Carolyn Evans-Shabazz to bring the free, 100% electric and on-demand local shuttle to residents. The initiative, according to the news release, is a three-month pilot program that provides residents free rides to any destination within the coverage area. RYDE is actively seeking additional funding partners to support the expansion of the project.
