Companion and Transporting Children

Companions and dependents (children) are allowed to travel with persons with disabilities, if space is available and will not result in the denial of service to other persons with disabilities. Please let us know if your companion or dependent has cancelled travelling with you, to allow space in the vehicle for another customer.

If you are travelling with a child under 8 years old and/or under 80 lbs., please notify staff at time of booking or make the selection on the app/web-based booking to ensure the appropriate vehicle is scheduled for your trip. Mobility On-Request Paratransit does not transport child seats.

Preparing for Your Trip

Here are some things to remember:

• Service Hours are 5 a.m. to 3 a.m. Monday to Sunday (including Statutory Holidays) 
• Review the Code of Conduct
• Mobility On-Request Paratransit requires a path cleared of snow and ice before the operator performs door-to-door service. The customer should not be making their way to the vehicle until the operator comes to the first accessible door to escort them. This path needs to be wide enough to accommodate the customer and the operator and the path is to be from the first accessible door to the bottom of the driveway. For help clearing snow and ice from your driveway, contact a local community group that may be able to help. Some examples include your local municipality, faith-based organizations or charities

• Your requested time will have a 30-minute pick-up window. For example, if you request a 9 a.m. pick-up, your ride will arrive between 9 a.m. and 9:30 a.m. You need to be ready at the start of your pick-up window

• For appointment trips, the pick-up window is designed to ensure you arrive on time for your appointment

• Your booking window is your confirmed time, you no longer need to call two hours prior to confirm your trip

• Trip reminders will be given:

  1. The day before your scheduled pick-up
  2. When the vehicle is 30 minutes away
  3. When the vehicle is five minutes away
  4. When the vehicle arrives
• If you are booking a ride to a medical appointment, please ask the Trip Reservationist to book you a will call for your return trip. When you are finished at your appointment and ready to be picked up, call the Traveller’s Hotline at 1-888-762-2950 to be picked up

• Ensure you can safely manage carry-on items onto the vehicle. There is a maximum four bag limit to ensure there is room in the vehicle

• Please meet the Paratransit vehicle at the first accessible entrance at the start of your pick-up window 

• Ensure you have your Mobility On-Request Paratransit ID card with you at all times

Prevent the spread of infections:

• If you’re not feeling well, stay home if possible

• Consider wearing a tight-fitting, well-constructed mask in crowded, indoor spaces. 

• Stay current and up to date with a COVID-19 and flu vaccine (and RSV vaccine if you are eligible) 
• Wash your hands often
• Cover your mouth when you cough or sneeze
