In partnership with VisitBellevue and provider Circuit  Bellhop has been providing electric shuttle rides in Bellevue. The pilot program has been running since August of 2023, but VisitBellevue recently announced that Bellhop is here to stay! It covers roughly six square miles in Bellevue (see map below) and will provides free 100% electric rides.   

According to Circuit, 60% of vehicle trips are under five miles. Bellhop aims to help people get around without a car and reduce vehicle trips!
