Riders can schedule rides in advance, with flexible options ranging from on-demand trips to fixed schedule services. Participants in this program can benefit from affordable pricing options, such as a flat fee per trip or payment by insurance, vouchers, donations, or Medicaid. The program strives to accommodate riders by providing door-to-door or curb-to-curb transportation services, and in some cases, drivers can wait for passengers during appointments or errands. Service animals are welcomed on board, and there's also an option for shared rides to promote a sense of community among riders.
