Riders have the option to schedule shared rides at a flat fee rate, with different pricing tiers available. For example, the fare for older adults and veterans is $1.00 one-way, while the general fare is $3.50 one-way. To utilize Dial-a-Ride, individuals are required to schedule their rides in advance, typically a few days prior to the desired travel date.
