The minibus carries 18 passengers and 2 weelchairs. Residents who wish to use transit may board the bus at any regular bus stop. Click on "Maps & Schedules" on the far left of the top menu bar to see the transit area served, and the transit schedules. Door-to-DoorDoor-to-Door Transit is provided for Salmon Arm residents who live outside the area served by the fixed-route minibus. Regional Transit ServiceRegional Transit is available two days a week to Deep Creek, Silver Creek, Eagle Bay and Sorrento. Click on "Maps & Schedules" on the far left of the top menu bar for trip times. handyDARTThe handyDART Transit Service is for passengers who cannot get to a designated bus stop due to a disability. Taxi Supplement ProgramThe Taxi Supplement Program enables the handyDART operator to book trips in taxis when the regular vehicle(s) is unavailable, either because of capacity issues or because the trip cannot be accommodated in a timely manner. In essence, the handyDART operator becomes one large regular client to the taxi company, while in turn the vehicles of the taxi company act like extra vehicles to the handyDART operator. For instance, if a passenger requests a trip when the handyDART vehicle is unavailable, Taxi Supplement enables the handyDART dispatcher to relay the passenger's name, pickup and drop off details to a participating taxi company. The taxi company then slots that passenger into their bookings for the day and picks up and drops off the passenger at the assigned locations and times. There may be restrictions on the use of this service including requirements for ride sharing and budget limitations. |
