About Us

Dial-A-Ride Public Transportation

 Dial-A-Ride (DAR) is the public transportation provider for Coles and Douglas counties, offering services to all residents regardless of age or ability. The service provides safe, mobility device transportation for medical appointments, grocery shopping, and more at reduced rates compared to private options, with older adults often paying on a donation basis and veterans receiving discounts.
