Redmond was awarded the Regional Mobility Grant from the Washington State Department of Transportation for the 2025-2027 biennium to start a shared parking program and microtransit shuttle in Downtown Redmond. The total amount of grant funding being provided to the City of Redmond is $975,000. The City is providing $244,000 of matching funds.

A request for proposals (RFP) for the vendor to manage the microtransit shuttle service was posted and five vendors submitted.
