Coordinating trip connections allows residents to freely travel throughout all of Oakland County to medical appointments, work, school, and other engaging social activities.
To schedule a ride with a connection, call your local transit provider with the desired pickup and drop-off addresses. Their dispatcher will work to coordinate your connections with the transit providers needed to complete the requested ride. Please note, rides with connections may take longer to complete and count as two rides, which is reflected in the trip fare.
