To schedule a trip on METRO Drives, you must be a registered passenger with our METRO Drives service (formerly known as SCAT). Once you have been approved, to schedule a trip, call METRO Drives from 7:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. the day before your desired trip. If you are planning a Monday trip, call the prior Friday for your reservation. When scheduling your trip, please have the following information ready in the order listed:
- Have your METRO Drives ID number ready;
- Know your appointment time or the time you would like to be dropped off and when you want to return;
- Have the address of where you are going;
- Let the customer service representative know if you need special equipment, such as a wheelchair lift. All METRO buses can accommodate mobility devices up to 30 inches wide by 48 inches long and a combined weight of 800 pounds, including the mobility device and the passenger. *Assessment of the customer mobility aid tools may be required.
METRO Drives operates within a 30-minute window. Once your METRO Drives specialist gives you your pick-up time window, the METRO Drives operator or contract driver will arrive within that 30-minute window.
METRO Drives is a shared ride service. Drivers cannot wait. If you are scheduling a return trip, you must make arrangements when you schedule your pick-up or call the METRO Drives Return Trip Line.
