CARE On-Demand

CARE customers can benefit from a precedent-setting program with greater flexibility in meeting their mobility needs. "CARE On-Demand" enables CARE customers the option to utilize a same-day, direct, non-stop trip. CARE On-Demand is an optional program open to CARE customers; CARE customers are not required to use CARE On-Demand. However, you must first qualify for CARE to be eligible to utilize CARE On-Demand.

Schedule your trip at least two hours in advance. Trips can also be scheduled farther in advance with greater flexibility. You will need your CARE ID number for booking and your CARE ID when riding.

CARE customers can choose from two CARE On-Demand partners, Roundtrip and UZURV. With two partners, there are two easy ways to use CARE On-Demand!

When it comes to your mobility needs, you deserve a partnership built with you in mind.
With Roundtrip, save time by booking same-day, direct, non-stop trips easily and securely online and through our app, and a driver will be on their way to pick you up within minutes. 

Book your on-demand ride here or by phone at 1-877-396-8080. Any rides booked online are 15% OFF. 

To book a ride online, get started by verifying your account above. 

Roundtrip Service Hours:
Seven days a week from 7AM to 11PM
*To cover premium pricing from our transport providers, there is a $1 surcharge for rides commencing between 8 PM-6:30 AM, seven days/week.

With UZURV, you get a private ride with a courteous, credentialed, ADA-compliant driver in a vehicle matched to your specific needs. The ride is a direct, non-stop, door-to-door service. Rides can be booked in as little as 60 minutes ahead of time.

Eligible riders can use UZURV’s direct line call center or the UZURV Ride App to schedule rides,
manage reservations, track trips, and favorite drivers. The app is WCAG 2.1 AA Certified for
accessibility and ease of use.
