The program also allows for pre-payment, making it easier for riders to manage their transportation expenses. VTS goes beyond merely providing rides by offering additional assistance to passengers, such as aiding with packages or bags and accommodating service animals. The program prides itself on its inclusive approach, enabling riders to access essential medical appointments, run errands, or attend social engagements with ease and peace of mind.
