About the Program
The new on-call transportation subsidy program is intended to complement the City’s other transportation programs by providing trips to seniors and those with disabilities on short notice, during weekend and evening hours, or to destinations outside the areas served by the City’s other transit programs.
Under this program's service model, Ambiance Transportation will use its fleet to respond to trip requests. If a ride request is made outside of their service hours or cannot be fulfilled by an Ambiance vehicle in under 20-minutes, Ambiance will dispatch the request through its technology platform to Lyft.
Participants are able to access the program 24/7 via phone by calling Ambiance’s call center and could also take advantage of new technologies to access the program, including a specially designed mobile app and an online web portal.
For more information, please download the On-Call Transportation Program Brochure.
