SMART Dial-a-Ride

ADA Dial-a-Ride customers may schedule trips up to 2 weeks in advance. ADA customers should schedule their ride at least the day before their needed ride.
Non-ADA customers can schedule up to 2 days prior to the needed ride. Due to high demand, it is recommended that you schedule your trip as early as your eligibility allows, to ensure you can be accommodated. ADA customers have priority in scheduling.
Please note that all SMART buses, not just Dial-a-Ride vehicles, are fully accessible and are able to accommodate all wheelchair and scooters that meet ADA standards of size and weight. Since Dial-a-Ride services are in high demand, individuals are strongly encouraged to use the regular fixed route bus service whenever possible.
