METRO connect - Rock Region

Affordable, Accessible Transit Service, Your Way!

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

WHY MICROTRANSIT?

For certain service areas, 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 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:

FASTER SERVICE: METRO Connect on-demand microtransit service total wait and travel times per trip are on-average faster than area bus service.

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 has specific “virtual stops” that allow riders to travel to a specific transfer point outside of the zone to access additional METRO transit service, such as fixed bus routes. Find METRO Connect microtransit zone maps, zone hours of operations, zone virtual stops and connecting fixed routes at rrmetro.org. Standard METRO fares apply.
