Link on Demand offers free rideshare service around communities south of Denver
People in many cities south of Denver now have a new ride option to get them around for free.
The Link on Demand rideshare service will travel around areas including Lone Tree, Highlands Ranch, and select areas of Parker. Many popular areas include:
- Town Center, Village Center, and Highlands Ranch Senior Center in Highlands Ranch
- Park Meadows Retail Resort, Lone Tree Rec Center, and Sky Ridge Medical Center in Lone Tree
- Parker AdventHealth Hospital, Downtown and Parker Senior Center, and Twenty Mile/Dransfeldt Shopping Center in Parker
- Littleton Mineral Station
- Safeway Transfer Hub
- Lincoln Station Transfer Hub
- Parker RTD Ride and Share
Booking Link on Demand is similar to booking an Uber or Lyft. It starts by downloading the Link on Demand app. Then you book the ride and meet up with your driver. The only difference; this ride is free all the time.
Link on Demand is designed to increase mobility, reduce barriers, and support daily travel needs. It helps people who don’t own a car or older adults who can’t drive, for example. The vehicles are ADA-accessible too, so they help people who use wheelchairs and walkers.
Anyone over the age of 13 can ride the service, so this helps if your child misses the bus or needs a ride. This service does operate corner to corner instead of door to door. This means you might have to travel a short distance to your pickup point. Your phone will show you the availability.
This is a Monday through Saturday rideshare service. The hours of operation include:
- Monday to Thursday, 7 a.m. through 7 p.m.
- Friday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m.
- Saturday from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m.
Highlands Ranch and Parker are non-adjacent zones, so you’ll book a two‑leg trip via a Transfer Hub. Here’s how:
1. In the Link On Demand app, book your first on‑demand ride:
- From Highlands Ranch to Lincoln Station Transfer Hub or Safeway Transfer Hub, or
- From Parker to Lincoln Station Transfer Hub or Safeway Transfer Hub.
2. Ride to the Transfer Hub.
3. After you’re dropped off at the Transfer Hub, open the app and request your second on‑demand ride, from the Transfer Hub to your final destination in the other zone.
4. Wait at the Transfer Hub until your next van arrives. Typical wait times are 15-30 minutes.

Firefighters say a car crash was the cause of a large fire that broke out north of the Denver International Airport on Saturday afternoon.
The Brighton Fire Rescue District says a vehicle was traveling through the area of E. 120th Avenue and N. Watkins Road around 2 p.m. when it crashed. Fortunately, the people inside the vehicle did not suffer serious injuries, but the fire department says the vehicle’s catalytic converter caught the nearby grass on fire.
The 120 Fire quickly grew, and firefighters responded with engines, brush trucks and water tenders to attack it from multiple sides. Multiple agencies responded to assist as the winds continued to push the fire across the grassland.
It covered around 237 acres by the time firefighters brought it under control around 3:30 p.m. BFRD says firefighters continued to put out hotspots and monitor a large cottonwood tree that was smoldering nearly 30 feet up the trunk.
With Independence Day approaching, the fire rescue district shared a reminder that a single spark can ignite a fast-moving grass fire. They added that aerial fireworks are illegal in Brighton and pose a serious fire risk in the current conditions.
