A ride sharing pilot project is ready to go in Prince Edward County.
In May, council approved the pilot project involving Uride in an effort to address transportation needs in the municipality.
Uride’s Ontario Operations Manager Vince Scott says they have collaborated with the municipality, assembled a team of dedicated drivers and are launching a six-month pilot project Friday at 9 a.m.
As part of the launch, the company is offering Prince Edward County residents a discount of up to 50% off all rides, max $10 per ride, when using the promotion code WELCOME.
Scott says they are still looking for more drivers to join the platform and is offering a $200 sign-on bonus exclusively for Prince Edward County residents.
Uride, which operates in mid-size cities across four provinces, serves eight locations in Ontario including Belleville.
