CONNECT is our on-demand rideshare service that makes it easier and more affordable to connect to the bus network and travel within BFT’s service area. CONNECT is ideal for riders whose starting locations or destinations are too far from a bus stop.

Here's How It Works:

  • CONNECT helps riders get to and from BFT bus, transit centers, and select destinations.
  • There are six CONNECT zones throughout the Tri-Cities.  
  • Book a ride within minutes of when you’re ready to leave and CONNECT will pick you up and take you there. 
  • Each zone has pre-determined destinations you may choose. 
  • When you schedule your ride, your start and end locations must be inside the same zone. 
  • This is a shared ride service, so additional passengers may ride with you on your commute.  
  • Click here for more information about CONNECT zones and the pre-determined destinations.
