Dial-A-Ride is specialized transportation for persons with a disability.
Aiken County has developed this service to provide paratransit service
as required by the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990. This service
is for individuals who, due to impairment, are unable to ride the Aiken
County Best Friend Express bus. It is an origin to destination, advanced
reservation, shared ride transportation. It is not a cab service.
The service area is within a 3/4 mile radius of the Best Friend Express
bus route.
This covers parts of the City of Aiken, North Augusta, and Midland
Valley.
Any person with a physical or mental disability which makes it
impossible to use the Best Friend Express fixed route may be eligible.
An applicant's disability must be certified by a physician. An
application containing a physician's certification is available at the
Lower Savannah Council of Governments Office (803) 649-7981. Once an
applicant is approved for services, he/she must contact the Aiken Area
Council on Aging transportation department at (803) 648-6493 to make
arrangements for pick up and drop off within the service area no later
than the day before the request for service and to purchase tickets
prior to transportation.
For further information on Dial-A-Ride transportation services, please
contact the mobility manager at Lower Savannah Council of Governments in
Aiken @ 803-649-7981. |
