Schedule a Ride

To schedule a ride, call the Dial-A-Ride dispatcher at 456-1462 by 4:00 p.m. a minimum of two business days before you'd like a ride. Persons 60 years of age and older and persons with disabilities have priority scheduling. General Public rides are scheduled on an as-available basis. Call Dial-A-Ride at 456-1462 for additional information or to schedule a ride.

Operation of Dial-A-Ride requires the grouping of rides, whenever possible, according to destination. Dial-A-Ride is not a taxi service.

If you find that you do not need a ride you have scheduled, call the dispatcher immediately and cancel the ride.
