Jefferson County Open Spaces announced a partnership with Lyft on Wednesday. The pilot program aims to alleviate parking congestion at some of the county’s most popular trailheads including North Table Mountain and White Ranch Park, officials said.

“JCOS wants to help improve access to our parks while encouraging alternative transportation and reducing congestion at our trailheads or parking areas,” county officials wrote in a release.
