If you or a family member has ever needed a ride to a doctor’s appointment, grocery store, work or other destination, you’ll be glad to know Link On Demand regional rideshare service will soon be available to more of Douglas County – serving northern and central Parker beginning in April 2026.
At their regularly scheduled Business Meeting on Feb. 24, the Board of Douglas County Commissioners voted to approve a contract for $4.4 million to continue Link On Demand services in Lone Tree and Highlands Ranch, and for the expansion east through Stonegate and into Parker. Funding for the program will come from the Road and Bridge Sales and Use Tax revenue allocated for Transit and Mobility projects. The Town of Parker will contribute $250,000 toward services in their town.
The free on-demand transportation service started in the City of Lone Tree and expanded into Highlands Ranch in 2025 providing 72,000 trips for residents and consistently receiving a 4.9 out of 5-star rider rating.
Link On Demand is accessible for those with mobility issues, students, older adults or anyone without regular access to a personal vehicle. Rides are available 6 days per week (Sundays off).
To start using the service, visit our webpage where you can simply download the Link On Demand app. Through the app, riders can create an account, enter their pickup and drop-off location, and wait for a driver to arrive — usually within minutes. Or call 719-212-2430 to schedule a ride.
The Board of County Commissioners anticipates further expansion throughout 2026.
