About this app

Get on-demand, convenient and affordable rides within any one of our six CONNECT zones: Central Richland, West Richland & Badger Mountain, Columbia Center & South Richland, West Pasco, East Pasco and Finley & Central Kennewick.

Ride 7 days a week to popular pre-determined destinations within the service zone of your origin and connect to or from the BFT bus network with ease. Remember, your ride must begin and end in the same zone.

How it works:
- Book a ride on your phone.
- Get picked up on a nearby corner.
- Share your ride with others.
- Save cash and reduce carbon emissions.

What we’re about:
SHARED.
Our corner-to-corner algorithm matches people headed in the same direction. This means you’re getting the convenience and comfort of a private ride with the efficiency, speed, and affordability of a public one.

AFFORDABLE.
All rides are a pre-communicated low price, no surprises. BFT CONNECT also offers passes and concessions for eligible riders.

SUSTAINABLE.
Sharing rides reduces the number of vehicles on the roads, bringing down congestion and CO2 emissions. With a couple of taps, you get to do your part to make your city a little bit greener and cleaner, every time you ride.

I love using the via for getting around. I would of given it a 5 star but it's very inconvenient to not be able to cross zones I can't even take a via from queensgate Walmart to Richland WinCo! Bring back zone crossing. Drivers get paid wether they are driving circles in a zone or driving from one zone to another.

The new way is really annoying. Everywhere you put for destination is Out of Zone. Does the app only allow certain people to be picked up? 🤔 I just saw a lady get picked up from Walmart, at my exact location, and a Connect van picked her up. Is there a certain van that picks people up from Walmart? Connect used to be cool, now they suck.
