The Neighborhood Ride Service By Taxis (NRS) is a fixed route taxi service operating as a pilot program in Wards 4, 7 and 8. Transportation will be provided by an 8-seat shuttle. Passengers are picked up and dropped off along routes within each specific Ward. For only $5, riders can hop on or off at stops within their Ward. Payment can be made by cash or credit card. So let us know what you think of this service by leaving your feedback here.
The NRS is made possible though grant funding from the Department of For-Hire Vehicles.

The Department of For-Hire Vehicles is proud to share one of our exciting, grant-funded projects, the Electric Taxi program.
Over 40 of our capital’s taxis have been upgraded to a 2016 electric vehicle model. These taxis are equipped with long-lasting batteries, removing the need to visit gas stations. Additionally, these 2016 vehicles are equipped with a number of modern features to create a better experience for this city’s residents.
