Access On Demand pilot with RTD’s Access-a-Ride
Summary
RTD’s Access-on-Demand pilot gives eligible Access-a-Ride customers subsidized, curb-to-curb Uber trips that can be requested the same day instead of scheduled in advance. The program complements rather than replaces Access-a-Ride, offers up to 60 subsidized trips per month across participating providers, and operates throughout RTD’s service area during Access-a-Ride hours, except 1:30 a.m. to 3:30 a.m. Riders pay a $4.50 standard fare or $2.25 LiVE fare, while RTD subsidizes up to $20 per eligible trip; riders cover amounts beyond that limit. To use the benefit, customers need active certification, must complete RTD enrollment, and activate an Uber voucher linked to their enrolled account, which applies automatically to eligible trips.
Context
Access-a-Ride customers traditionally schedule paratransit trips in advance. Access-on-Demand adds a same-day option intended to provide greater flexibility for work, medical appointments, shopping, social activities, and other everyday travel.
Approach / What changed
Eligible customers enroll through RTD, provide the email address associated with their Uber account, and activate a voucher sent by Uber after approval. The voucher is selected automatically for eligible trips and applies RTD’s subsidy at checkout, while riders pay the applicable fare and any amount exceeding the subsidy.
Takeaways
Eligible riders can receive up to 60 subsidized trips per month across participating Access-on-Demand providers.
RTD subsidizes up to $20 per eligible trip; riders pay a $4.50 standard fare or $2.25 LiVE fare and cover any remaining balance.
The Uber voucher must be active in the Uber account used during RTD enrollment, with a personal payment method available for fares or costs beyond the subsidy.
