How can I schedule a ride?

Please call your local SETHRA office to schedule rides. Rides are scheduled first come, first served as schedule permits. We request a 24-hour notice for in-county trips and a 72-hour notice for out-of-county trips. Making advance reservations is necessary so we can accommodate as many requests as possible.

Please be ready 1 hour prior to your scheduled pick-up time in case the driver is ahead of schedule. The driver is allowed to wait for 5 minutes only at pick-up locations before proceeding to their next destination.

In order for us to operate the most efficient system possible we ask that you cancel your reservation at least 2 hours in advance of your pickup time.
