DETROIT – The City of Detroit is making it easier for people to get transportation on the same day when they need it.
DDOT Now, the Detroit Department of Transportation’s new same-day paratransit service is up and running. In the past, residents with disabilities in need of paratransit services needed to schedule their ride at least a day in advance.
“Like anyone, paratransit users can have unexpected transportation needs arise and we want them to know DDOT will be there for them when they need us, even on short notice,” said Executive Director of Transit, Robert Cramer.
DDOT Now is available to all current and future DDOT paratransit riders between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Saturday.
Paratransit rider applications can be found here.
Trips via DDOT Now can be booked as quickly as one hour in advance. Riders can call 313-570-6845 between the hours of 6 a.m. and 6 p.m. The service area and fare of $2.50 is the same as those for DDOT’s standard paratransit service. DDOT Now trips and availability are limited.
