Service Comparison

Program Details

• Monthly Ride Cap: All Ride On-Demand clients will be assigned a monthly ride cap. This ride cap will be determined based on your previous 6-month RTC paratransit ridership, and should not cause you to alter your typical travel patterns. RTC paratransit is still available to those clients who have exhausted their monthly ride allowance.
• Ride Cost: Clients pay the initial $3 of the ride fare. The RTC will then pay the next portion of the fare to cover approximately a 10-mile trip. If the total ride fare exceeds the RTC’s subsidy, or goes beyond a 10-mile radius, it is the responsibility of the client to cover any additional costs. The client’s portion of the fare will always be provided to the client prior to confirming the trip booking. Please note that cancellation fees may be assessed for client no-shows and ride cancellations without proper notice.
• Service Area: The Ride On-Demand Program will operate in the same service area as RTC paratransit. You can see if a specific address is within the service area by going to the following website: https://www.rtcsnv.com/ways-to-travel/paratransit-accessibility/service-area/.
• Veterans: The RTC Ride On-Demand Program is available to Veterans who are enrolled in our Veterans Medical Transportation Network (VMTN) service. You can find enrollment information for this service by going to the following website: https://www.rtcsnv.com/ways-to-travel/transit-services/services-for-veterans/. For veteran clients, the RTC will pay the Ride On-Demand fare to cover the initial 10 miles of the trip. It is up to the client to cover any portion of the fare above the RTC subsidy. Veteran clients may only travel to and from the following six VA clinics:

1. 1. VA Southern Nevada Healthcare System (medical center) – 6900 N. Pecos Road
   2. Northwest Primary Care Clinic – 3968 N. Rancho Drive
   3. Southwest Primary Care Clinic – 7235 Buffalo Drive

   5. Northeast Primary Care Clinic – 4461 E. Charleston Blvd.

Debit Card Usage

• If you use a debit card to pay for your Ride On-Demand rides, please know that your financial institution may place a temporary hold on funds in addition to the cost of the ride. This temporary holding of funds, or authorizations, can take anywhere from 3 to 5 business days to drop off.

Driver Routing

• Ride On-Demand technology relies on Google Maps to determine the most efficient and expedient routing. Google Maps analyzes many factors in determining the fastest route including: traffic conditions, traffic congestion, known detours, time-of-day, etc. This can lead to alternate routing, and possibly different pricing, despite traveling to the same locations. Drivers may take alternate routes to avoid construction, blocked roads, or heavy traffic when necessary.
