NOTE: Call Us to Schedule Supplemental Service Area

What to Remember When Using RTS Access Ride Request
- You can book up to seven days in advance to 5:00 pm the day before your trip day.
- A trip is only one way for us, so if you book a round trip (for example, home to work and then work to home), remember to cancel both trips online.
- Your trips are color coded! Use the glossary in RTS Access Ride Request to see what these codes mean (for example, green means a trip is scheduled).
- Once a trip is booked it cannot be changed. To make changes, you need to cancel the trip and book another trip.
- Don’t forget the 20-minute window: RTS Access buses can arrive 5 minutes before your schedule trip and up to 15 minutes after. When you book your trip, the timeframe is provided. It is always a good idea to write it down.
Notifications
- After you enroll, you will receive automatic notifications. These notifications include booking confirmation, cancellation confirmations and trip reminders.
- Notifications are both text and email. Opt out of notifications by calling us at 585-224-8330, press option “3”.
- If you download the app, you can also receive a push notification on your phone letting you know when your bus will arrive. Please don’t forget that the 20 minute window still applies.
