Boca Raton’s transportation scene is getting a boost with BocaConnect, an innovative shuttle service powered by the Circuit app. With just a few taps on your smartphone—available for both iOS and Android—you can summon a ride to navigate around the city.
Operating in a defined area south of Glades Road, east of I-95, north of the Hillsboro Canal, and west of NE 5th Way, BocaConnect offers a blend of accessibility and affordability. The best part? Rides within the designated RED service area are completely free. If your journey takes you into the BLUE area, expect a nominal fee of $2 for the first rider, with an additional dollar for each extra passenger, capped at just $5 for a one-way trip. And you won’t be left waiting long—your shuttle will arrive in 10 minutes or less.
Eco-Friendly Fleet
BocaConnect stands out with its all-electric fleet, providing a quiet, sustainable way to get around while minimizing your carbon footprint. This service is part of a 12-month pilot program focused on evaluating transportation solutions around downtown and the Brightline station. As the program gathers data, there may be opportunities to expand routes to key locations like the Tri-Rail Station, Spanish River Library, and even the beach.
How to Ride
Although the app is the preferred method to request rides, alternatives are available. In some cases, you can flag down a shuttle or call for service. Just keep in mind that app requests take priority. While tips for drivers are appreciated, they are never required—most rides are subsidized by local sponsors.
BocaConnect aims to be the most affordable option for local travel, and the integration of the Circuit app means that navigating Boca Raton is now easier and greener than ever. Whether you’re heading to a meeting, catching a ride to the beach, or just exploring the area, this service is designed to meet your needs. Happy riding!
