How to Qualify

 ADA certified / disabled.

Be a senior 65 years or older.

Reside more than ¼ of a mile from a fixed route. Dial A Ride can take you to the nearest bus stop.
Individual case by case enhanced service will be provided to disabled/ADA and seniors when needed.

ADA Certified passengers have first priority over non-ADA Dial-A-Ride reservations. They can bump a non-ADA passenger’s reserved pick-up time, up to the day before of travel. The bumped passenger will be notified of the change no less than the day before of their reserved time.

Reserving a ride

24 hour minimum reservations REQUIRED. No same-day scheduling. Reservations can be made up to 3 weeks ahead of time.

Remember to schedule your return trip and specify what time you’d like to return.

The Driver will wait only 5 minutes starting from time of arrival. If you do not ride, it will count as a “no show.”

**PLEASE NOTE**

ADA Certified passengers have first priority over non-ADA Dial-A-Ride reservations. Non-ADA riders may be bumped in order to accommodate disabled passengers. Drivers will notify bumped passengers no less than the day prior to their reserved ride.

Tips for scheduling

  • Have ready the date and time you would like to travel. If you have an appointment, be sure to provide the time to the scheduler.
  • Remember to schedule your return trip and specify what time you’d like to return.
  • The earlier you call and the more flexible you are, the more success we will have in fulfilling your trip request.

Cancellation of Reserved Rides

If you must cancel your trip, you must call the office no later than one hour prior to your scheduled pick-up time.

Intermittent Stops

If you plan intermittent stops during your travel, you must have advance reservations for drop off and pick-up times. Drivers will not wait for passengers at intermittent stops. Stops must be scheduled at least 30 minutes apart. Times are based on availability.
