If you require the assistance of another person to complete your trip, a personal care attendant may accompany you on Tel-A-Ride at no charge. You must indicate the need for a personal care attendant when you apply for Tel-A-Ride. For scheduling purposes, you must also indicate if you need an assistant and that an attendant will need to travel with you when you make your reservation. Attendants may not travel alone or be picked up or dropped off at any other location than that of the eligible client.
If you are being accompanied by someone whose presence is not required to complete your trip, that person is considered a companion and he or she must pay the full Tel-A-Ride fare. One companion may travel with you on a space-available basis. You must indicate that a companion will be traveling with you when you call for a reservation. Companions may not travel alone or be picked up or dropped off at any other location than that of the eligible client.
