Denver residents will be able to register for the opportunity to receive $751 of transportation credit toward the use of Lyft, Zipcar, and RTD.
The program, which is being rolled out in Chicago, offers 100 people credits to use Lyft, bike-share, Zipcar, and public transit.
The commitment makes New Flyer the first bus manufacturer in the world to sign on.
Together they account for 77 million passenger trips per day and inform the travel decisions of 10 million people each day.
Transit riders now will have daily, on-demand access to a vehicle to reach their final destination, which will help improve carbon emissions, among other benefits.
Today, in cities and towns across the country, mayors, city commissioners, governors, state legislatures, and even the President, are looking for ways to make our nation’s highways, roads, bridges, airports, public transit systems, and other key pieces of infrastructure once again the envy of the world.
A total of 14 Zipcars are available now through the partnership including a Honda Civic, a Jeep Renegade and a Honda CR-V.
The recent rise of “mobility on demand” services like Uber and Zipcar has shifted society’s understanding of transportation systems and how they operate. Governments, advocates, and communities are responding by experimenting with their relationships to these services to ensure that on-demand options work with transportation networks to benefit public mobility.
Respondents also report saving money on transportation after joining and having the freedom to go “where they want, when they want,” according to a joint press release.
'Zip and Ride' program will place Zipcars within walking distance of three Amtrak Cascades train stations (Portland Union Station, Salem Station, and Eugene Depot) and promote more connected, cost-effective travel options for train riders.
