Plan the whole trip.

A service may cover your area without running every day or to every destination.

  1. Check both directions

    Confirm pickup, destination, arrival time, and how the return journey works. Ask about fares and transfers.

  2. Book ahead

    For MaineCare rides, call the broker at least two business days ahead. If your appointment is urgent, ask about urgent-trip arrangements.

  3. Explain access needs

    Mention mobility equipment, an escort, child seats, or help getting to the vehicle when you arrange the trip.
