Our mode of service is curb to curb, meaning you will have to meet the vehicle where it can park safely. We will not enter private driveways or gated properties. All Dial-a-Ride trips are scheduled with a 30-minute pick-up window. That means that a vehicle is considered “on-time” if it arrives at the pick-up location up to 15 minutes before, or 15 minutes past the scheduled time. EXAMPLE: You have a pick-up scheduled for 11:00AM The vehicle is “on time” if it arrives between 10:45AM and 11:15AM. The driver will wait at the pick-up location for five (5) minutes for you. You must be at the scheduled pick-up location at the scheduled start of your window, or you may miss your ride. Trips cannot be scheduled to have a vehicle wait for you to drop something off or pick something up. You will need to schedule two separate trips. Drivers are not allowed to change drop off locations or make intermediate stops, including fast food drive through. Dial-a-Ride does not operate on Sundays or the following holidays: - New Year’s Day - Memorial Day - Independence Day - Labor Day - Thanksgiving Day - Christmas Day
