New changes to the Acton Rides pilot program including limitations on number of rides
In August 2023, the Town introduced a new livery pilot program called "Acton Rides" as an addition to our existing transportation services (www.actonma.gov/transportation). This grant and ARPA-funded program has provided residents with rides from livery providers when other town transportation options were not available.
Initially, the program included several ride restrictions. However, from April to August 31, 2024, we temporarily lifted some of these restrictions to expand access to the service.
Starting on September 1, 2024, the program will follow new guidelines with new and updated ride restrictions.
- The new limit on the number of one-way trips per person is 4 per month.
- The radius for eligible destination is now 20 miles with an exception for Boston hospitals/medical appointments.
This pilot program has limited funding and further changes may be necessary. More details about "Acton Rides" are available at www.actonma.gov/transportation
