        Service animals
     Service animals are welcome on vehicles at no extra charge.  Just let dispatch know you will be traveling with a service animal     
      when you make your ride reservation.
 
       The ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) states that a public transit system CANNOT restrict the use of a service animal, i.e. dog
       or other types of animals that would be used to assist an impaired individual utilizing the service.  The rider must be in direct
       control of the service animal at all times.  The information that a service animal will accompany a passenger at the time of the
       reservation will be noted on the dispatcher's schedule.  Service animals ride at no fee.
