Grab your group and take a ride on a DARTS bus!

Available to companies, friends, families, and any other type of group, DARTS can provide a ride for your crew to any destination or even multiple. Get safely where you want to go and don’t worry about parking – DARTS can do it!

Transportation is a basic need, which is how DARTS originally began, by providing rides to older adults who could no longer drive. Now, we provide rides to older adults as well as a variety of groups! The revenue generated from the group rides we provide to anyone in the community supports older adults in the community. By choosing DARTS, you receive a ride to remember while giving back to local seniors!

Bring your group to any stop you want, including: 

Restaurants

Shopping

Sporting Events

Out on the Town

and beyond!
