Passengers must be ready to board at the time they call. Thirty minutes is the standard wait time for pick-up. Wait time may be as long as one hour or more, depending on demand. (Note: Dial-A-Ride is busiest the first two weeks of the month)
Weekday advance reservation (at least 1-1/2 hour) for appointments is required.

“Advanced reservations” are accepted for scheduled appointments and work only and must be renewed weekly. Missing an Advanced reservation more than once will then require a daily renewal.
