Keeping Harris County Moving.
RIDES is a great option for people for whom public transportation is either unavailable or inaccessible — helping eligible residents make doctor’s appointments, do grocery shopping or otherwise just get around and remain independent.What is RIDES?
RIDES is a curb-to-curb subsidized program that allows eligible customers and participating agencies to purchase transportation tickets at a significant discount.The customer/agency pays a reduced fee of $2.50 per ticket: that's a 50% savings off the regular $5 value of the ticket. Each customer may select from two levels of service: |
Shared Ride This non-metered program in which passengers share rides with other passengers requires advance reservations. Of the two, this is the more economical. The cost is based on the mileage distance from the point of pick-up to the destination. The price will range from 1 to 6 tickets for a one-way trip. Trips must be booked a minimum of 24 hours in advance. | |

Taxi Service The cost of this metered same-day service is based on the rate of the meter fare box. Customers may use a maximum of 8 tickets for fare on a one-way trip. With this service, rides are dispatched on the same day as the request. Trips can be booked 90 minutes in advance. | |
