WESTPORT — An expanded service area for Wheels2U Westport, the on-demand shuttle service to the town’s railroad stations, takes effect this week.

The section of town added to the service area — from Coleytown Road to the Weston border — is bounded by North Avenue, Lyons Plains Road and Coleytown Road, and includes all of Arlen Road, Fraser Road, Fraser Lane and Snowflake Lane, according to a Monday statement from the Westport Transit District.

About 90 percent of town is now served by the Wheels2U Westport program, officials said.

Residents can arrange for the shared-ride service by using the Wheels2U Westport app to request a pickup at their home between 5:45 and 9:45 a.m. to go to either the Saugatuck or Greens Farms railroad stations, and from 4 and 8 p.m. from either rail depot to return home. 

Pickups should be requested about 20 minutes before the usual time to leave home to drive to the station, according to the statement. 

The fare is $2 when paid with the Wheels2U app. A Metro North Railroad Uniticket rail/bus pass can also be used.
