Alto, a Dallas-based rideshare and delivery company currently offering on-demand and pre-scheduled rideshare as well as delivery services in Dallas-Fort Worth, has announced its expansion plans to Houston. The company is now offering pre-scheduled rides in the city, and Houston residents will be able to book on-demand rides starting Oct. 1.
“Alto is thrilled to announce our expansion plans to Houston and offer the same clean, safe rideshare experience that’s revolutionizing the industry to this new market,” said Will Coleman, Founder and CEO of Alto. “We’re confident Houston residents will find Alto to be unlike any other rideshare experiences they’ve had to date, and find comfort in Alto’s leading safety and health precautions, as well as elevated rider experience.”
Alto’s owned and managed fleet vehicles are leading the rideshare industry in new health and safety precautions during COVID-19. All Alto drivers wear masks and gloves during every trip. Furthermore, each Alto vehicle also has a HEPA cabin air filter which removes 99.9% of airborne particles - the same filters used in hospitals to provide clean air to patients - and all Alto vehicle interiors have been treated with PermaSafe, an EPA-registered hospital-grade sanitizing mist that kills 99.9% of bacteria and viruses, including emerging pathogens like COVID-19. The PermaSafe product forms a covalent bond with every surface in the vehicle creating an invisible anti microbial shield that kills germs on contact for a full three-months, ensuring a safe and clean environment.
