The Dial-a-Ride program offers round trip transportation around the community and beyond.
Dial-a-Ride is a phone-in ride service that takes people around Reedsport and the surrounding area — residents can get rides anywhere in Reedsport, to Gardiner and Winchester Bay, as well as going to Florence, Roseburg, and Coos Bay.
People using the service can travel roundtrip anywhere in Reedsport, Gardiner, and Winchester Bay for $1; a trip to Coos Bay or Florence costs $3; and a trip to Roseburg costs $5. While local trips can be taken any day of the week, trips to Florence, Roseburg, and Coos Bay are done once a week.
All trips need to be scheduled at least a day in advance, so it gets put on the driver's schedule. To schedule rides, call 1-888-232-8121.
Dial-a-Ride is always looking for drivers and spare drivers (volunteer and paid) who can fill in if a regular driver is not available. Anyone interested in volunteering should contact Charlene Lohf at the Reedsport Police Department at (541) 271-2100.
Potential drivers will do a ride-along, so they get a feel for what the day is like, then fill out an official application.
