DASH Tips to Ride

  • No fare required to ride. Service is free to anybody who needs transportation around Downtown.
  • If you're a first-time rider, or not sure where you're going, feel free to ask the driver for information.
  • Coaches do not stop at every stop automatically. You must signal the driver by pulling the cord above the windows.
  • Coaches stop for passengers only at designated stops. Wait in view of the driver.
  • Coaches are accessible to wheel chairs.
  • Strollers are welcome. Please make sure it’s not blocking the door, aisle, or seating.
  • Coaches are air-conditioned.
  • Currently, the DASH is only allowing trained service animals to accompany riders. Information on how we define service animals can be found here.
