Helpful Tips: CCTD drivers are not personal care attendants. The Shared Ride system is wheelchair accessible. The CCTD drivers are not responsible for caring for a client if no one is home. If a client needs help getting to and from the pick-up point, the client must make the necessary arrangements.

Shared Ride service is not a taxi or limousine. Clients share the vehicle with others taking similar trips. You may need to adjust your travel times to accommodate other client's schedules. Space is limited and can't be guaranteed, and service depends on demand. In rural parts of the County, service is limited. Clients should be flexible about when they travel and on what route they are taking.

If you are 65 or older and live within 1 mile of a public bus route and your destination is within a mile of a public bus route, you should use the fixed route/public bus transportation when possible. An exception may be made for unusual circumstances.
Facility/ADA Access: Wheelchair accessible vehicles available.
