This Guide reflects revised policies, which are summarized below.  To guarantee availability, call (209) 668-5600 during reservation hours at least one day before your trip.  Same-day requests may be honored based on availability at that time.

Here are some of the changes/clarifications reflected in the new DAR Guide:

• The overall DAR service area has increased;
  
• Service areas have been simplified into three (3) zones;
  
• Zone boundaries have been adjusted and follow streets, making it easier for dispatchers and passengers to verify eligibility for riding;
  
• Reservations can be made up to 14 days in advance;
  
• Service hours to Denair were adjusted (increased);
  
• The rule for carry-on bags/items was clarified to match the language used in the fixed route Rider Guide;
  
• DAR is primarily a next-day (or beyond) reservation-based service. Same-day reservations may be honored, but only based on availability. To guarantee availability, passengers are encouraged to make their reservation at least one day before their trip.
