Lee County's public transit agency, LeeTran, has introduced a new on-demand transit service called ULTRA in the Lehigh Acres community. The ULTRA service operates within specific service zones, providing door-to-door transportation as well as connections to LeeTran's fixed bus routes for continued travel throughout the county.

Why it matters

The ULTRA on-demand service aims to improve transit accessibility and flexibility for residents in Lehigh Acres, a rapidly growing suburban area that has historically lacked robust public transportation options. By offering a more personalized, on-demand service, LeeTran hopes to increase ridership and provide better connectivity to jobs, healthcare, and other essential destinations.

The details

The ULTRA service operates within designated service zones in Lehigh Acres, allowing riders to request door-to-door transportation using a mobile app or by calling a dispatch center. The vehicles then transport passengers directly to their destinations or connect them to nearby LeeTran fixed bus routes for longer-distance travel within Lee County.
