Salina, KS – OCCK Transportation announces a new option for scheduling rides on services, including Regional Paratransit, City of Abilene, Med-A-Van, and the discounted taxi ride programs.
Riders are now able to use the online reservation form found under “Ride” on the website at www.salinacitygo.com to schedule rides for Regional Paratransit, City of Abilene, Med-A-Van, and the discounted taxi ride programs. Previously, the only option was by phone.
“We’ve been working hard to improve the quality of service and convenience for all of our paratransit riders,” said Angela Sanchez, Administrative Coordinator for OCCK Transportation. “By offering an online scheduling option, we are bringing significant improvements to our paratransit experience.”
All paratransit services do have an application process. New riders must be approved before scheduling. Existing riders that are already approved can use the online form at any time. Questions can be directed to the Transportation Office at 785.826.1583, option 6.
