How to schedule

To schedule a trip, call (269) 673-4229 or (877) 788-2287 the day before travel; scheduling services are available on weekdays until 5:30 p.m. Please have the following information ready to give to the scheduling office:

  • Your name and address
  • Your destination
  • Requested date and time of pickup and return rides
  • Whether you need an accessible vehicle or assistance needs
  • Date of birth required for senior fare
  • Phone number

Scheduling Priority

  • Priority One: Standing Orders/Subscription Trips — These are services, established in advance, same passenger, same time, and same origin. Based on availability; medical trips take precedence. Recurring or subscription trips for employment purposes for new passengers will be set up once the passenger has completed two weeks of travel with 1 or less no-shows.
  • Priority Two: Reserved Trips — These rides are reserved before noon the prior business day in advance of service needed. Best efforts will be made to schedule trips requested the day before travel is needed, but we recommend calling by noon to ensure availability. 
  • Priority Three: On Demand — Trips requested without advance notice; please call by noon the day before travel is needed to secure your spot on the next day’s schedule. Trip requests after this cut-off time will still be entered but will only be scheduled based on availability.
