METRO Connect

Rock Region METRO’s on-demand METRO Connect service ride-hailing app

Affordable, Accessible Transit Service, Your Way!

METRO Connect is Rock Region METRO’s on-demand microtransit service.

WHY MICROTRANSIT?

For certain service areas, including areas of emerging or low transit demand, microtransit does a better job of meeting transit demand than a full-size bus operating on a fixed route. Microtransit allows Rock Region METRO to provide on-demand, shared transit rides using smaller vehicles within a set zone, during regular operating hours, via its METRO Connect on-demand service.

BENEFITS TO RIDERS

METRO Connect offers:

• POINT-TO-POINT SERVICE: METRO Connect on-demand microtransit service takes riders from a point within the zone to any other point within the zone.

• AFFORDABLE FARES: A METRO Connect trip is more affordable than trips using traditional Transportation Network Companies, as METRO Connect is part of the Rock Region METRO publicly funded public transit service.

• NEW PLACES: METRO Connect access central Arkansas destinations that have not previously been served by non-paratransit public transit service.

HOW TO USE METRO CONNECT MICROTRANSIT SERVICE

Download the METRO Connect app to schedule ride-hailing trips occurring within a set microtransit zone, during regular METRO Connect zone operating hours (hours vary per zone). Each zone allows riders to travel from point-to-point within the zone to access destinations, including additional METRO transit service, such as fixed bus routes.
