Local Trend. Pilot Program for Ride Share & Taxis to handle late night events.

The District of Columbia Department of Transportation  (DDOT)is testing a pilot program to handle night life traffic.

The pilot program will include:

  • converting parking spaces to late night loading zones for taxis and ride share for pickups
  • the department of transportation partnered with the business district, Golden Triangle BID, to solve the late night traffic congestion
  • ride share companies share anonymized rider data with DDOT to help refine the location of the pilot
