Service Information
Marshall Dial-A-Ride
City of Marshall - Marshall Dial-A-RideHours of Operation
- Monday-Friday: 7 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Phones on 7 a.m. – 5.30 p.m.
- Closed weekends and most major holidays
Peak travel times are 7:30 am to 8:30 am and 3:30 pm to 4:30 pm during the school year. Also, the first four Wednesdays of each month are Free Senior / Disability Days. So, expect the buses to be busy on these days with possible delays. Call 269-781-3975 to schedule your ride. Ride scheduling is based on the following priorities:
- Priority One – Daily Time Calls: These are services, established in advance, to serve the same passenger, with the same origin(s) and destination(s), at the same time of every weekday.
- Priority Two- Time Calls: These rides are reserved twenty-four (24) hours or more in advance of service need. Time calls are not for every weekday service; and do not require the same time, origin, destination, and customers of DAILY TIME CALLS. A Time Call is, simply stated, any ride reserved twenty-four (24) hours in advance of service need.
- Priority Three- Reserved Rides: This priority is for those passengers who call DART at least two hours in advance of their service need. With this and the previous Priorities, DART expresses its appreciation to those truly transit-dependent customers who assist DART in trip-planning by reserving their ride in advance of need.
- Priority Four- On Demand: While DART recognizes its role of providing demand-actuated, responsive transit, those who wait until the last moment to make their request are placing an undue burden upon the resources, flexibility, and needs of DART to serve the transit-dependent passenger who cooperates in efficient service by placing requests as soon as possible. It shall, therefore, be the policy of DART to make sure the needs of Daily Time Calls, Time Calls and Reserved Ride passengers are fully administered before addressing the needs of the On Demand passenger.
