Another new transportation option is coming to Redmond, Wash.
The city announced the launch Monday of RedLink, a free, on-demand, all-electric ride service to help residents and visitors get around Redmond more easily and sustainably.
One of the goals of the program is to connect the Redmond community — home to Microsoft’s main headquarters campus — to light rail without the use of personal vehicles, the city said in a news release.
The Sound Transit light rail 2 Line connects downtown Redmond to South Bellevue, and starting March 28, will extend to Seattle with the opening of the Crosslake Connection.
RedLink operates in partnership with Circuit, a transportation company operating in about 50 cities across the U.S.
The City of Bellevue teamed with Circuit in 2023 for Bellhop, a similar service aimed at helping to alleviate parking and last-mile headaches in that growing city. GeekWire tested BellHop at the time with a ride around downtown Bellevue.
RedLink riders can access the service via the Circuit app. It’s available to all Redmond residents and visitors traveling within the service area, which includes parts of Downtown Redmond, Education Hill, and Southeast Redmond.
The pilot program is expected to run through June 2027.
