Dial-a-Ride is a convenient non-emergency medical transportation program catering to older adults, offering transport via taxis within public transit.

The program offers various payment options, including insurance, vouchers, coupons, donations, and Medicaid for eligible individuals. Membership fees and flat fees are charged for the service, with different pricing tiers based on age and distance traveled. The program ensures a personalized experience by providing private rides, where drivers assist passengers with packages or bags. Additionally, Dial-a-Ride offers paratransit services, accommodating individuals with disabilities and allowing service animals on board. With options for on-demand scheduling and flexible payment methods such as cash, check, credit card, or pre-payment, Dial-a-Ride aims to make transportation accessible and reliable for older adults in need of assistance. Riders can enjoy door-to-door or curb-to-curb transportation, and the program's drivers are willing to wait for passengers during appointments or errands, enhancing the overall experience for those using the service.
