Method/Rules for Scheduling a RideFixed route services run on a set schedule. Rides do not need to be scheduled in advance.
However, if using SMART paratransit / ADA Service, passengers are permitted to reserve a trip up to 14 days in advance of the trip date. SMART will accept any trip request if made before 4 p.m. the previous day, but the sooner you call, the better time you will receive. Same-day trip requests will not be accepted. You may reserve your SMART ADA trip by calling 866-962-5515. First press 1, then 2 for ADA, then 1 to schedule. For passengers who are deaf or hard of hearing, call the relay service toll-free by dialing either 711 or 1-800-649-3777. You may also email your ride request to: adascheduling@smartbus.org
