• Recreational activities

Scheduling a Ride

To allow us time to schedule your ride, please call our office at least two working days before your scheduled appointment or other need. We can take requests up to 14 days in advance. Unexpected delays may occur due to extreme traffic congestion, road construction, or weather conditions.

What to have when you call:

• Date of birth
• Pick-up address
• Destination name, address, and phone number
• Date(s) and time(s) of needed ride
• Information on any assistive equipment or mobility devices you use

If you need to cancel a ride, please call us as soon as possible, but at least two business hours before your scheduled pick-up time.
