What is Dial A Ride?

Dial A Ride is a transportation service that provides door-to-door rides for people who are unable to use regular public transit due to age, disability, or mobility challenges. Typically operated by local transit agencies or community organizations, the service requires riders to schedule trips in advance, often by phone or online. Vehicles used are usually accessible for wheelchairs and mobility aids, ensuring a safe and comfortable ride. Dial A Ride helps promote independence by allowing eligible individuals to travel to appointments, shopping, or social activities.
