Sussex Dial-A-Ride is a volunteer group providing affordable transportation to people in our area. Service is dependable, courteous, safe, efficient, inclusive and respectful.

How Does it work?

We will pick up our clients within the greater Sussex area, and take them to local destinations. Just call our dispatcher 48 hours in advance of the required service. We arrange a volunteer driver to come to your door, drive you to your destination, and then return you back to your pick up location. If you require an escort/attendant to travel with you, please inform your Program Coordinator in advance. You will be informed of the exact amount of your transportation fare upon your booking.

Conditions:

• Members must need access to affordable and/or accessible transportation
• Members must be able to walk on their own and get in and out of a vehicle without assistance.

  Please note: Volunteer drivers are not equipped or trained to handle wheelchairs or to transfer people in and out of vehicles.

• People with walkers are welcome to use Sussex Dial-A-Ride, but for the safety of the member and the driver, minimal assistance will be offered.
