RideWPB: Downtown West Palm Beach's Free Electric Shuttle

If you live or own in downtown West Palm Beach, RideWPB remains one of the most useful perks of the address. The free electric shuttle service — operated by Circuit and supported by the Downtown Development Authority and local businesses — continues running on-demand throughout the core downtown zone, connecting condo residents to Clematis Street, CityPlace, the waterfront, dining, and entertainment without parking, surge pricing, or a wait longer than a few minutes.

What's currently operating: On-demand service within the Downtown Development Authority district. Request a ride through the Circuit app, a driver arrives within minutes — no fare, no tip, no subscription.

What changed in June 2026: The City of West Palm Beach ended its RideWPB StopGap Pilot expansion, which had added the fixed-route Yellow Line van service and expanded on-demand coverage north and south of downtown since 2023. Those expanded areas and the fixed route are no longer operating. The core DDA district service, funded by the DDA and business partners rather than the City, is continuing.

For condo residents in the downtown core — Clematis Street corridor, CityPlace, the waterfront — this means the service you actually relied on is still there. Park at home, take the shuttle to dinner on Clematis, walk back along the waterfront if the weather cooperates. That use case is unchanged.

For buyers evaluating downtown WPB condos against suburban alternatives, the continuing on-demand service is still one of the quality-of-life details worth factoring in. The ability to cover the downtown zone without a car for evenings and weekends is a lifestyle upgrade that most suburban addresses in Palm Beach County cannot offer. Download the Circuit app before your first week — once you use it once, it becomes a reflex.

The DDA and Circuit have indicated they are continuing to evaluate the future of the broader service. For the most current coverage area and hours, check the Circuit app directly.
