Dial-a-Ride is a convenient public transit program designed to provide transportation services to individuals residing beyond the city limits. Pricing is structured based on distance, with fares ranging from $3 for a one-way trip up to 1.5 miles outside the city, $6 for trips between 1.5 and 5 miles, and $9 for trips spanning 6 to 10 miles. For rides surpassing 10 miles, a fee of $9 plus an additional $2 per mile applies, subject to availability. To utilize this program, older adults are required to schedule their rides in advance, typically a few days prior, and have the option to pre-pay for their trips. Payment can be made using credit cards or cash. Dial-a-Ride offers shared rides, allowing multiple passengers to travel together, and provides curb-to-curb transportation for added convenience. Participants are welcome to bring their service animals on board. This program's efficient services make it a reliable choice for older adults seeking affordable and accessible transportation options for their travel needs beyond the city confines.
