About Altamonte Springs

According to Altamonte Springs tutors, Altamonte Springs is one of the very first cities to take part in a very innovative ride share program. They are not alone in this program there are other cities that are onboard to be a part of the revolution too. Due to Florida’s hot and humid climate and spaced out villages and cities it is difficult for residents to wholly adopt public transportation as a means of getting from “a to b”. Often the nearest bus stop or train station is perhaps a mile away from your residence. Or on the opposite side there is an extra non-walkable distance that has to be covered after exiting public transport at your nearest stop. This has been an ongoing problem in Altamonte Springs and local government has been pondering for a while on how they can assist and help solve this problem.

In recent years a solution has become viable due to the increase in popularity of rideshare services across the United States and many other countries. Rideshare allows workers, tourists, and shoppers and affordable way to travel for that ‘last mile’ of their journey to be able to access places of interest, stores, and work places.

Altamonte Springs businesses are encouraged by the rideshare option as it means increased custom for their establishments. Some local businesses have taken their role in increasing this use of ride share by offering incentives to the rides hare customers in the forms of discounts off their goods and services. In many cases the cities themselves are subsidizing the rides. If you travel from Altamonte Springs to a nearby city to dine the neighboring cities are offering to pick up part of your dinner check in a bid to encourage those from neighboring cities to spend their disposable income in their restaurants and vice versa. Before this new service, travelling to a nearby city for dinner would not be convenient via public transport, and nearby residents might opt to stay local to avoid getting back in their car to drive. Also with raised awareness of the dangers of alcohol consumption and driving deterring traveling far away for dinner, residents were more inclined to walk or take a less expensive taxi to a nearby restaurant. Nowadays, these cities including Altamonte Springs are paving the way to make many different options available to their respective cities’ populations through this inexpensive ride sharing option.

Altamonte tutors say the original program was launched in the summer of 2016; the initial discounts on ride share rides were introduced in order to reduce congestion on Central Florida highways. It provided a way to utilize the public transport infrastructure in place and then jump in a ride share for the last part of the journey home. It proved incredibly popular, and now they have expanded the discount program. One of the biggest discounts comes from using the rail service; if you get picked up at one of the cities’ ‘SunRail’ stations the city picks up 25% of the trip cost.
