EL PASO, Texas (KTSM) — Signage designating a new rideshare hub will be installed on Monday, June 9, on the 200 block of W. Baltimore Drive, near the University of Texas at El Paso (UTEP) and the Cincinnati Entertainment District, the City of El Paso said in a news release.
This initiative, which is part of the City’s Social City Assessment Plan, was designed to improve public safety and expand transportation options in the Kern Place neighborhood, the City said.
The City said the new rideshare hub is “well-lit and equipped with security cameras, providing a safe and clearly designated location for rideshare and taxi services to pick up and drop off passengers.”
The hub will be operational on Monday afternoon, immediately following the installation signage, the City said.
The City said key benefits of the hub include:
- More organized and efficient passenger pick-ups and drop-offs;
- Reduced congestion caused by drivers circling the area or blocking traffic lanes;
- Enhanced safety through ride verification, helping riders ensure they are entering the correct vehicle.
“City officials encourage residents and visitors to begin using the Rideshare Hub, particularly those planning to attend the Coldplay concert at the Sun Bowl this weekend,” read the news release.
