A ride is $14 one way. Payment is expected at time of pick up. With prior documentation, veterans and spouses of veterans ride free.

Availability is limited, not every ride request can be fulfilled. Riders must be able to ride independently and load/unload any items in their possession. Individuals who cannot ride independently are responsible for bringing their own caregiver. Caregivers ride at no charge, but we do need to know if you will bring one with you.
