Fares and Adding Funds to Your Account
Your fare for The RIDE is determined by the location of your destination, and if you make changes to your reservation. Keep in mind, if you travel with a guest their fare will be deducted from your RIDE account. Personal care attendants (PCAs) travel free.
Your fare will be confirmed when scheduling your trip.
| Type | One-way fare per customer | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Type | Local ADA | One-way fare per customer | $3.35 |
| Type | Premium non-ADA | One-way fare per customer | $5.60 |
You may pay a Premium non-ADA fare if you:
- Change your reservation after 5 PM for service the next day
