priority. Same day service is scheduled on a first come, first serve basis and
we will fit you into the schedule whenever possible although it may not be your
first preference for time. Same day cannot be guaranteed. If you are needing
transport to or from the airport it should be scheduled with a minimum of 24
hours notice.
Due to ridership demand the bus may run 10 minutes early or up to 10 minutes
late, so please be prepared early and be patient if we are a little late. There
may also be other riders on the bus who need to be dropped at their destination
so you may have to ride for a while. Please plan your trip accordingly to
prepare for delays, we recommend 15-30 minutes prior to your appointment time.
When you make an appointment, dispatch will need the following information:
Name
Address to be picked up from
Time and date of desired pick up
Destination or destinations if more than one stop
If you need assistance such as the lift for a wheelchair or walker

Please call dispatch to cancel any reservation if you no longer require a
scheduled ride. This saves us time, keeps us on schedule and enables someone
else to take that time slot if needed.

If you lose an item on the bus please call
dispatch at 377-5024 as soon as you realize the item is missing. The Urban
Transportation District of Dawson County is not responsible for lost items.
