Home > Dial-A-Ride

Welcome to Dial-A-Ride

The Livermore-Pleasanton-Dublin area is served by two different paratransit providers with separate service areas, hours and regulations.  For residents of Pleasanton, daytime service is provided by the City of Pleasanton Paratransit Service, while dial-a-ride service during early morning and evening hours and Sundays is provided by Wheels.  For more information or reservations on Pleasanton's Paratransit, call (925) 931-5376 or go to their Pleasanton Paratransit Service page.


Reservations

Call (925) 455-7510 for reservations. For the hearing impaired using a TTY, use the California Relay Service at (877) 735-2929. Reservations are taken Monday–Friday between 8 AM and 5 PM and Saturday-Sunday between 8 AM and 4 PM. Reservation can be made up to seven (7) days in advance and as late as the day before the ride is needed.  It is best to make reservations as soon as possible to ensure the time and trip desired

We make every effort to arrive within 15 minutes (earlier or later) of the scheduled pick-up time.  If the van is expected to be more  than 20 minutes late, customer service will notify the customer.  If the van is more than 30 minutes late, the customer will receive one free ride.  Customers must be ready within five minutes of notice of the van's arrival.  If a medical appointment takes longer than expected, please notify dispatch immediately to arrange a possible new pick-up time, but the desired time cannot be guaranteed.  For Pleasanton Paratransit Service(PPS) Reservations, Call (925) 931-5376.


Cancellations

To cancel a reservation, call 455-7510 as soon as possible, but at least one hour before the scheduled pick-up time.  Customers who fail to show up for a scheduled ride three (3) times within a six (6) month period will have their service terminated for one month.  A written notice will be sent before the service is terminated.
