City developed a Non-Profit Free Ride Program. Through

distribute as needed to their clients. There are currently
17 participating nonprofit organizations who can provide
promo codes for a free round trip or 30 days of free
Arlington On-Demand rides. The Free Ride Program has
delivered approximately 33,341 rides since its launch in
March 2021. This program serves low income and very
low-income Arlington residents.
