How to Schedule a Dial-A-Ride Trip

Passengers must reserve trips for the Tuolumne County Transit Dial-A-Ride Service in advance, no later than the day before a trip is needed, sooner when possible, but no sooner than 14 days in advance of the trip time.

To reserve a ride, phone the Tuolumne County Transit office at 532-0404, or 962-4098 for toll free service in the Groveland area. Inform the dispatcher if an attendant or companion will be traveling with the passenger and/or if a wheelchair or other mobility device will be used.

Reservations may be made between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Monday through Saturday, except holidays (see holiday section of this website for schedule). Reservations may be made on Sundays and holidays by leaving a voice recorded message requesting the desired travel time and place, and a return call phone number to confirm your trip. You will be called back to confirm trip reservation after 5:00 p.m. on Sunday or the holiday, as appropriate.
 
Trips are provided on a space available and priority basis. ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) certified persons will receive priority service. When space is available same day service will be provided. (For information on how you can become ADA Certified for transit services, call the Transit office at 209-532-0404.)

Return trip reservations should be made when you schedule your initial trip. "Will call" return trips will be accommodated on a space available basis. Persons making "will call" return trips should expect pickup delays of up to two hours.

Transfers

Passengers may transfer free from Dial-A-Ride to any Tuolumne County Transit fixed route.

Cancellations

If your plans change and you no longer need your scheduled trip, please let the Transit Office know as soon as possible so they can provide a ride to someone else in need. To cancel a scheduled trip, call the Transit Office at 209-532-0404 (or 962-4098 toll free from Groveland) as soon as you know you don't need the ride, or at least one (1) hour prior to your scheduled pick up time.
