If you require assistance to safely board or exit the vehicle an escort or a personal care attendant may qualify to ride with you for free. The escort must be at the pickup location of the passenger scheduling the trip. If you want
someone just to come along with you as a companion, they must pay the fare for the trip. ATA does not provide escorts or personal care attendants.
A driver can assist passengers door to door but unable to enter the home. The driver will help the passenger to the door of the drop off location as well but not able to go in.
Cash:
There is a fare box on each bus that a rider can deposit their fare into. Please note that the driver does NOT make change so therefore riders will need exact change when boarding the vehicle. You can contact ATA if you have questions regarding the fares for your rides.
Prepaid Balance Account:
A rider will no longer have to pay by cash when boarding the vehicle for their trips. ATA’s prepaid balance accounts are available for the Call-A-Bus and County Wide Service. A rider will have the option to put money on their account by sending in cash, check and/or money order to ATA. You may also put money onto your account by using a credit card. The minimum amount if purchasing with a credit card is $40.00.
