Dial-A-Ride

DIAL-A-RIDE

Dial-A-Ride is a curb-to-curb shared ride service for township residents who are 65 or older and for qualified disabled residents of any age. Service is provided to and from any point in the Township of Downers Grove and to Good Samaritan Hospital. Service is provided from 8:00 AM to 4:00 PM, Monday thru Friday, excluding major holidays. The fare is $3.00 for each one way ride.

Before using the service, riders must be registered with the Township office. To register, the rider must have an RTA card. Persons over 65 may apply for an RTA card at the township office and register for Dial-A-Ride at the same time. (Disabled persons under 65 can request an RTA card application from the Lisle Township office.)

Once a rider is registered, reservations for general purpose rides can be made one or two business days in advance. Rides for medical appointments can be made up to a week in advance. A passenger may be accompanied by an escort. The escort does not have to be registered but does have to pay a separate $3.00 fare.
