Help Center

A one-way ride takes a member either to or from an appointment. A round-trip ride brings a member both to and from their appointment.

Will call is a ride option a member can use if they don’t know when their appointment will end or when they will need the driver to pick them up. It can be used with either a one-way or a round-trip vehicle. The member should request will call status when reserving their ride. Once they are ready to be picked up, they notify us to flip the will call status and route a driver to them. A scheduled ride is for a fixed ride time.

Yes, we are pleased to accommodate on-demand transportation via our rideshare integrations.
