Scheduling a Ride

We schedule rides on a first come, first serve basis, so plan to schedule rides as far in advance as you can. We encourage you to schedule your rides at least one day in advance. This helps us to plan for the trip when we make our schedule for the next day. We also recommend that you schedule your ride so there is enough time to get to your destination on time. Buses may arrive 10 minutes before your scheduled pick up time or 10 minutes after the time, so we encourage you to plan accordingly. We ask that you plan to schedule your return trip at the time you make the initial ride with the dispatcher.

You will need to inform the dispatcher, when scheduling a ride, if you will be making more than one stop so we can plan for the ride. We make the routes the day before and will not have time to complete the extra trip once the schedule is set. Transit Operators are not able to wait for you at a location even if you will not be there very long.

To schedule a ride, call 624-7433 during office hours. Office hours are: Monday – Friday 8:00am – 12:00pm and 1:00pm – 5:00pm. There is no one in the office between 12:00pm – 1:00pm. Please call to schedule rides before or after this time. The cell phone (202-0954) can be called during this time to request a pick up over the lunch hour, but no advance scheduling can be done.  Customers who are deaf, hard of hearing or speech impaired can receive assistance through Relay SD by dialing 711.
