Services Offered by Washington Rides
(Shared-Ride, Door-to-Door, Advance Reservation)
Washington Rides provides transportation service that is Shared-Ride in nature. That means you will likely be riding with others, and that other individuals may be picked up and dropped off before you reach your destination. We try to make sure, in most instances, that no one rides for more than an hour, but the trip may well take longer than if you were going by yourself, and passengers need to plan accordingly.
The service provided is Door-to-Door. Many of the vehicles have wheelchair lifts. Passengers who need and request assistance will receive it, between the door of the pick-up point and the door of the destination. Drivers cannot, however, take a wheelchair up or down steps, or provide lifting assistance for passengers.
All passengers must be registered with Washington Rides before using our services, and advance reservations are required.
Washington Rides Does NOT Provide

Service in which the distance from the origin to the destination is less than one-quarter mile.
